The 17th Annual Nebraska Cattlemen's Classic
Tuesday February 19, 2008
Buffalo County Fairgrounds ~ Kearney, NE
Ranch Horse and Working Dog Sale
As always the Cattlemen's Classic brought in a large crowd to watch the dogs
work.  You wanted to arrive early just to secure a seat close to arena so you didn't
have to look over someones shoulder trying to see the arena.  2008 consignments
included 11 dogs from Nebraska, and Colorado.  With a bonus of a $1000.00 going
to the top dog in the trial.  The cattle did prove to get a little tough as the morning
went on and the crowd got bigger.  Probably the best seat in the house was on the
Wheel of a New John Deer tractor so you could watch uninterrupted.
 

Following is the placing and sale price of each dog.  
A big thank you goes out to Jeff Mundorf and Billy Melvin these 2
were the judges for the day.
