                                                     Yard and Utility Trial

                                                      Binnaburra, 22nd to 24th June

                                                                 Report and Photos by Nan Lloyd

Entries were down at this years annual Binnaburra Yard and Utility trial but the events were as competitive as ever.

For the top 12 in the open yard there were only 6 points separating all the finalists, and there was another runoff to decide the winner.

The weather was unusually mild. Binnaburra is known for its crunching frosts and freezing winds, but this year there was neither.

So those present had an enjoyable time, with the evening drinks and meals around the diesel ‘Woofer’ a highlight as always.

The sheep were borrowed from a neighbor and were very good, workable but tricky enough to test the dogs.
