Battle of the Sexes This class was in two divisions, male versus female exhibitors. Male exhibitors could only enter bucks and the class was judged by Dan Schwandt. Female exhibitors could only enter does and the class was judged by Kristy Hume. The winner of each division then faced off to see which was the better rabbit (if Kristy and Dan could come to an agreement!) When they could not reach a decision, Paul Jurgelonis was called in as a tie breaker, would he go with the better type (doe) or the better markings and condition (buck)? Winner of the Female "Battle of the Sexes" was Nancy & Emily Mason with a blue doe #EB229 Winner of the Male "Battle of the Sexes" was Charles Sayles with a blue buck #H272 Overall winner: Charles Sayles
