Our 2023 Fleece Judge was Zefren Anderson (click to read his impressive bio).
He was assisted by this year's scribe Nikyle Begay, the N-CSA Registry Inspector for the Navajo Breed Association
as well as a shepherd with a great knowledge of sheep genetics. Janna Miller joined her as co-scribe for the wool portion of the competition.
