February and March Ranch Sorting Flyers are posted

If you visit the EVENTS tab you will see the dates for the February and March ranch sorting clinic and shows. I have included a link to the flyer under each dated show.

If you have never tried ranch sorting be sure to check out the clinic prior to the show. It's a great opportunity to learn. The folks that put it on are very helpful and teach our youth some great tools to begin ranch sorting.

I have also posted the December results from the ranch sorting show.


We are always here to answer and questions you may have!
