Results for 9th Annual Upper Midwest Stockdog Challenge Jordan MN

[mayflower]

The 9th Annual Upper Midwest Stockdog Challenge was held July 27-29 at Jordan, MN. Joni Swanke of North Dakota was the judge for all classes.

 

The sheep were a blend of Columbia / Dorset and Columbia /Suffolk crosses with a few full blood suffolks owned by Kevin Bailey and were set in packets of two ewes and two lambs.

 

Temperatures were much cooler than last year! Typically temperatures climb into the mid 90's with humidity levels equaling the temperature which provides quite a challenge to not only the setout crew, but handler and dog teams as well. Previously we have had two years (the first year the trial was held and last year) where we were forced to break mid-day due to extreme heat. So you can see why we were so thrilled to have temperatures in the mid to upper 80s this year!

 

Many thanks to Kevin Bailey, trial host, for putting on this trial yet another year and the landowner, Burdette Stief for the use of his field for the trial!

 

I also want to take this opportunity to thank the setout crew that worked with me - John Wentz, Stretch Fehihaber, Richard, Bailey, Pearse Ward, Laura Hicks, Sue Noll, Renee LaBree, and the individuals that helped out in the pens, Tom Bailey, Theresa Bailey, Dustin Hicks and anyone else I may have missed. Thanks for all the help! I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to work with and really appreciate the out of state help that pitched in to give me and my dogs a break!

 

Thank you's also go to Claudia Mahon who helps manage the clerking for the judge and many other numerous administrative tasks and Pearse Ward for putting together the program for this year again.

 

Also thanks to everyone who helped setup and tear down for the trial. I know Kevin really appreciates the help!

 

I'm sure I'm missing someone, but trust that your help with the trial was greatly appreciated!!
