The Standard of Perfection: Show Cattle

The "Standard of Perfection" has become the guideline by which animal show judges award points and prizes to worthy animals. With wit and respect, director Mark Lewis (The Natural History of the Chicken) takes viewers behind the scenes at the Fryeburg Cattle Show in Maine to expose the intense preparation to prime an animal for the biggest show of the year. Viewers meet the winners and proud owners as they achieve the highest honors.
