      Up early again for another day of sorting, stayed warm overnight, 7am start and the cattle were sticky again as it was another fresh mob for today, all our teams performed well but no one got 10 through again, most scored with no disqualifications which was good, a great day again for all with the tunes cranking and Macca again keeping all of us entertained, the kids had one run today and did well again, weather was great again around 30 the day was done by 2 and presentation was not long to follow with Tuppy Forge and Zebra winning her own event and also taking out the fastest time. The clouds started to roll in and then a good thunderstorm hit, that scattered everyone, was a quiet night hiding under shelter as it rained till about 8:30, a few more bevies and into bed.Read more
