The show requests all dairies enter their products well ahead of time, with the judging completed before the show begins.

The team were justly proud of the result, general manager Zak Rush said.
"When we got the letter saying we'd won it blew us away," he said.
"All our milk comes from local farms. We pasteurise and flavour it and then it's sold from Wollongong to Moruya.
"We just want to support local - our milk comes from local farms, we employ 17 local people, and we support other local businesses."
Mr Rush said the secret to their high-quality milk was not standardising it.
"Big companies rip the cream out of the milk and then add it back in - we don't do that," he said.
"We are never below 3.8 per cent fat, so we have a creamy, rich product. At the moment, with all the rain, the percentage of cream is even higher."
