Thank you to everyone that helped out and attended sorting practice tonight. Thank you Ed for supplying the cattle !
I am uploading all the pics I had. The sun beaming down was cool but it hides the riders lol. Many of the pics , if you just zoom in and crop , you may have a few good ones.
Thank to Realtor Kim Huxted and her hubby Pete for feeding us!
