Day 1 of the trial

The cows were very good and very obedient. Dare and Dually did very well handling them and they Q'd for legs but no placements. That darn pen and crossdrive is going to be the death of me. Dually ran in ADV B ducks and his outrun was darn nice but he split the ducks and caused a kerfluffle on the the way up to the cone. The cone was nice and the drice to panel 1 was good and so was the drive to panel 2. Then we had another small kerfluffle on the pen going in and trying to get them out too. lol We got to the shed and I could not get the little call duck suckers to split and Dually was being every so cooperative till he got tired of it and went in for a few feather ruffles. Anyway, I finally used my hat to split them and called him sorta in but the judge gave us the shed and we won the class. Tomorrows judge is not going to be so forgiving. yech Dually had a nice run in ADV A ducks but again the cross drive was where we lost a bunch of points. We placed 3rd. NOt sure if he got a CH point or not out of that. There was a tie for the point. ah well. Tomorrow's judge nq'd people all over the place today on sheep and I expect her to be as tough tomorrow on the cattle and ducks. Anyway the weather is gorgeous and they are right by a creek and the dogs got to play in the water this afternoon and now they can chill why I go out to dinner. Brakes on car seem to be working fine!
