The running was considerably smoother today with many more sheep taken around the course than the first day.  Tom Cook made improvements at the set out that eased up on the whole job and, therefore, the sheep.

 Bev laid one down second run up in the morning with Mirk, Her score held up all day.  Dennis Gellings took a run at her with Jake, But it was little Roz who was the ruin of her good score.  Roz wins, Bev Lambert and Mirk second.

Clive and Amanda at setout

I started the day spotting sheep from cowboy horseback.  It was marvelous.  The view.  But late in the day I really played cowgirl.  A single sheep had escaped through two fences Tom took a go at getting it with horse and lassos with no luck.  I took his horse and Clive and we brought back the single from the creek bottoms and ravines.  I loved the work.  I loved Clive.  He was performing at his concentrated best.

Amanda and Roz

Neighbour Amanda Njos cooked up homegrown steaks, rare, delicious, so after the range riding we had the best meal I ever ate.  I love North Dakota.
