4th Annual McCormack Ranch Sheepdog Trials
Friday,

9:00 AM MCCORMACK SHEEP & GRAIN — McCormack Ranch Highly trained dogs and their handlers convene Friday, March 1 – Sunday, April 2 at the McCormack Ranch outside of Rio Vista in hopes to win a place at the upcoming National Sheepdog Finals in September. The rolling Montezuma Hills are bucolic, the trial course is tough, the dogs amazing and the sheep typical, meaning they act naturally but not always as expected! This all adds up to a challenging event for dogs and handlers alike and great fun for the viewing public. Bring your blanket or folding chairs and don’t forget your binoculars! Over 80 dogs and handlers from several western states and as far away as the east show their skills moving sheep around a large course within an allotted time limit. Dogs and handlers are judged by their ability to complete all the tasks required for competent livestock work. Admission, good for one day, is $15 for adults and free for children under 12. For more information, check online or call Jeannie McCormack at (707) 374-2254. Location: 7680 Montezuma Hills Road Rio Vista DIRECTIONS: At the junction of Emigh Road and Montezuma Hills Road. |
