BevLive: Table Top SDT, Day 2

Finishing up the nursery at 7:30. Been a very long day for the great setout crew and other workers. Was quite hot and often very windy, which in Colorado can be VERY windy indeed.

The top runs were in the first four runs this morning. Libby Neider and Sidney won with the first run if the morning. Alan Mills and Sis were second and Tom Wilson and Sly were third. Late in the day Kay Stephens and Gala came 4th.

I was very pleased again with young Joe. He kept his head better today and managed a very credible run to get 6th. He just finished running in the nursery where he managed to get recalcitrant sheep Going with much more finesse then he has previously demonstrated so maybe he’s getting the hang of these critters. They spend an inordinate amount of time stamping their feet at the dogs and walking towards the dogs instead of away.

The nursery class was very strong with many excellent runs. Very nice to see as the sheep aren’t giving it up easily.

Tomorrow is ranch and nursery. I’m looking forward to more great sheep work. I’m off now to the Mills camper. They bought pizza for all the handlers and then poor Alan volunteered to help the set out kids with Sis. So we’re going to go eat his pizza while he walks up and down the big hill.
