Judges of stock in arriving at their decisions are directed not to give undue weight to high conditions (except in the Classes for Prime Stock), but to award the Prizes to the animals in Class, which they consider best represent the particular breed or description intended to be encouraged. The Judges are directed to pass over all those whose want of condition betokens weakness of constitution, however great their merit may be in all other respects. Where there are, in any Class, animals of different ages, the Judges are requested to take such difference into consideration in awarding the Prize: and, also in the case of females, as to whether in our or giving milk, so that want of condition from either of these causes may not militate against the animal possessing the greatest merit: but any animal which in the opinion of the judges, is
