The judging process that combines scientific and taste testing will once again find the country’s top lamb.
The first stage of the Glammies competition will see all entries put through testing at Carne Technologies to find the top 16 lamb legs.
At the grand final taste test at the Upper Clutha A&P Show in Wanaka on March 7 a panel of judges will decide the 2014 Grand Champion.
Farmers have until December 6 to enter the competition.
Beef + Lamb New Zealand chief executive Dr Scott Champion says the competition continues to draw a keen following from sheep farmers passionate about the world’s best lamb they produce.
“Each year this contest gets bigger and better and it’s a great way to profile farmers’ skill and expertise as well as reminding Kiwis just how special our lamb is,” Champion says.
Last year the competition received 180 entries across five classes.
Mangapoike, represented by Pat Sheriff from Gisborne, was crowned the 2013 Glammies Grand Champion.
