The sheep were blue tag ewe lambs kindly donated by Pete Van Zeyl.

There were a couple night/early morning wet fronts as well as  some fog Friday morning other than that we lucked out with some excellent trialling weather.

The sheep worked well outside for most dogs, although were quite challenging to get into the yards before starting the yard section of the utility runs.

They were also good at pinching points in the big pen of the yard section. Getting them into the first force was difficult as they wanted to draw back to the rest of the mob. The remainder of the yard course ran fairly smoothly after that section making some great scores.

Numbers were down this weekend for trailers but it was also great to see some new faces coming in and having a really good go. The atmosphere was great and we were able to all enjoy the firepit at the end of the days making it a very enjoyable weekend.
