Penning Cancelled for Saturday 1/21/2012

SignalRed

We are cancelling our penning for 1/21/2012 due to weather! The roads are too icy and we have had to make a decision in time to get the word out to everyone. We know it is supposed to warm up tomorrow but we don't think it will happen in time to get the cattle in and for everyone’s safe driving.

We hope to see everyone at our next penning on Saturday 2/4/2012. Please remember to resubmit your teams if you are planning on attending!

 

 

 

 

Fun in the Sun!!

Print PDF

Who would have guessed mid-January would find 76 penning teams chasing around in the sunshine!  Our last penning date had just that—plus good cows, good friends, good horses and good fun!  Thanks to those who showed up early to put on collars and to those who stayed late to take them off and put the pen away.  Great crew “upstairs” who checked us all in, ran the timer and kept things moving along!

Don’t forget the next penning date is coming right up January 21st.  Call in your teams, make plans with friends and we’ll see y’all again soon!

Help Us Out

Print PDF

uncle_samThere are a few things that everyone can do to help this go a little faster, keep everyone safer, and help everyone to have a better time.

  1. Don’t congregate at the entry gate. (The only people that should be by the gate are: The next 3 teams, People helping with the gate, People helping with changing herds, etc…). Too many people in that small of an area isn’t safe and slows the whole day down.
  2. Pay attention to what teams are riding. The announcer calls out the next team, and the 2 teams on deck, if you are  up within a team or two you should be heading to the entry gate. Don’t make everyone wait for you to get to the arena after your team should have already started. 
  3. When we are collaring cattle, please stay out of the way unless you are helping. When people stand in the isle when we are bring cattle up, or when people just stand along the back wall when we run them through the cute, the cattle have a tendency to see you and turn back. This makes the whole process a lot harder.
  4. When we a settling the cattle please stay out of the arena unless you are helping. Once again if you are not helping you are in the way. It just makes the whole process go quicker if only the people helping are there. If you are new and your horse has never been around cattle, just talk with Dick and see if he’ll let you help settle cattle.
  5. When asked to clear the arena, please do so. Please be courteous and follow the direction of the announcer at all times. It just really helps the day to go so much faster.

With everyone’s help we can all have a good time.

 

Clearing Arena to Settle Cattle

Print PDF

We have started having some issues with getting the cattle settled properly before we start penning. We have been having trouble getting the cattle settled because we have had entirely too many people warming up their hoses in the arena and not actually helping settle the cattle.

Starting at our next penning there are going to be a few changes to help things move more smoothly. Once the cattle are collared, we will ask everyone to leave the arena with the exception of 6 pre-designated heard settlers. We will ask some of our experienced cattle handlers to do this. If you have a horse that has never been around cattle, please contact Dick before the penning to get prior approval to help settle cattle. Everyone is welcome to continue warming up their horses in the outdoor covered arena.

After the cattle are settled, we will have the arena worked and we will start penning shortly after. So please do not ride in the arena once we start settling cattle. This should help in getting the cattle settled properly for the penning and help us in getting started on time.

We would like to thank everyone now for their cooperation in this matter.
