Do you guys need more help judging? I don't know how much you have left.

I am so sorry this is taking so long, we should have the winners posted soon.

No need to apologize. The judges had a LOT of birds to go through

I am so sorry this is taking so long, we should have the winners posted soon.

You don't have to apologize, I didn't know if you guys wanted help. I don't know how many contests you're in charge of judging.

You don't have to apologize, I didn't know if you guys wanted help. I don't know how many contests you're in charge of judging.

We are making headway, thanks for offering to help! All of us Project Managers and Staff judge all these contests, and it can take a while to get them all judged.

Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for! The judges have finished judging, and we have our winners!

Okay, going to enter my main Roo as a Non-Recognized.

This is Big Red. He was given to me last summer. He had a bit of a rough winter and lost a few toes, but that hasn't stopped him from taking care of his ladies. He's very gentle and non-aggressive, unless another male is trying to sneak some time with the girls, lol.
