We are cancelling our penning for 1/21/2012 due to weather! The roads are too icy and we have had to make a decision in time to get the word out to everyone. We know it is supposed to warm up tomorrow but we don't think it will happen in time to get the cattle in and for everyone’s safe driving.
We hope to see everyone at our next penning on Saturday 2/4/2012. Please remember to resubmit your teams if you are planning on attending!





Who would have guessed mid-January would find 76 penning teams chasing around in the sunshine! Our last penning date had just that—plus good cows, good friends, good horses and good fun! Thanks to those who showed up early to put on collars and to those who stayed late to take them off and put the pen away. Great crew “upstairs” who checked us all in, ran the timer and kept things moving along!
We have added an additional penning date this season, mark your calendars for March 31st. Thanks to one of our members for noticing, we had an additional date reseved at the fair grounds that we didn't know about, so we decided to add the date to our calendar.
There are a few things that everyone can do to help this go a little faster, keep everyone safer, and help everyone to have a better time.
We have started having some issues with getting the cattle settled properly before we start penning. We have been having trouble getting the cattle settled because we have had entirely too many people warming up their hoses in the arena and not actually helping settle the cattle.
