    This will, I think, be a fairly interesting one - both collections are already guaranteed a place in the next round, but the results of this match will help determine precise placements and rankings going forward. The category is one which you are all well-familiar with, methinks - HOOFSTOCK.

    Let's see what everyone makes of this :)

    Dublin / Fota for me wins because of amount of species / subspecies kept, these being of greater conservation concern and conservation output in terms of in-situ / ex-situ with hoofstock.

    I agree, this is an easy win for Dublin/Fota. Does Cotswold get any credit for its Rhino enclosure and a point? I have gone 2-1 but I'm not sure it is that close!

    Well I've personally gone 2-1, like yourself, just for the Rhino enclosure! :p

    Yes, I definitely think so which is why I gave it a 2 / 1 because although hoofstock is just not a strong point of CWP they do have their rhinos which are evidently both an iconic resident and have decent enclosures.
