48th Annual Nechako Valley Exhibition _____________________________________________________________________67 DIvISION 23 – STOCK DOG Stock Dog Demonstration and Trial Saturday, August 17, 2014 at 12:30 pm Indoor Arena Entry Fee: $50 per dog Prize Money: Minimum $500 added money to be paid out from 1st to 4th place. Buckle added for top open pro and top novice.

The object of a Trial Course is to test the ability of a dog to manage stock properly under the differing circumstances which may be encountered in everyday farm work. Stock dogs work with their owner, responding to a number of whistles and calls, to herd stock through a course and into a pen. Vanderhoof is home to some of North America’s finest stock dog competitors.

This event will feature a demonstration of how stock dogs do their job.

The demonstration will be followed by a Competition. The dogs will be herding cattle supplied by Richard Martens.

The dog with the most points wins. In the event of a tie, the best time will determine the winning dog. Pro-novice and open class competitors are welcome.

For further information, please contact Aubree Corbiere: 250-567-2819.

Fair

The event takes place in the indoor arena on: Saturday August 16, 2014 - 5:30 pm Sunday August 17, 2014 - 9:00 am The roping of livestock, whether to catch a stray, brand cattle, or treat sick stock is part of everyday life for a rancher and has been in practice for centuries.

Today, with competitive ranch roping, riders of any skill level and age can hone their skills and compete in this sport provided that they are on a horse that has a little “cow savvy� and is responsive to signals using one hand on the rein in combination with leg and body cues.

Team Roping is back again at this year’s fall fair. Come out and watch this exciting event and cheer on the competitors.
