The Crones' Chronicle

In early June, we took a trip up to Bowman, North Dakota for the Slash J and The Big One Sheepdog Trials. Awesome trials. Long outruns, drives, etc. and three range ewes. Incredibly challenging. Beautiful country. Nice weather. Had a very wonderful time. Here’s some film footage of one of Liddy’s runs. She ran her heart out and then some. What a good girl she is! Brought me sheep three out of the four trials and got around the course and to the shedding ring and/or pen three out of the four trials. At Slash J she placed 5th in a 3-way tie (ultimately 8th based on outwork). So, not too shabby for the girl’s fourth trial in Open!

Lisbeth also started a “tapas night” tradition while at The Big One. Looking forward to the next one!

Special thanks to all the organizers of the trials and all of the crews! Job well done!

Definitely try this one. Good mental practice during down times while waiting for your turn to run! It’s a hoot!
