Top Hand Cattle Dog Open Field Trial
A place for ranchers and working cowboys to gather and test the grit and ability of their working cattle dogs in a setting as close to ranch work as possible. This trial is not judged but graded on points and time. This is not an arena trial. Some tasks may include: Sending your dog into the pasture 300+ yards, gathering cattle and bringing then into working pens; Sorting cattle, penning cattle; loading cattle into a trailer. If you have a tough one, come join us. We want to know who is the “Top Hand.”
