The fall of 2008 we organized and hosted a large flock clinic up in the hills outside of Pendleton. The Clinician was Simon Leaning. A good time was had by all. We thank Eric and Katie Harlow of Harlow Sheep Company for setting up the pens and suppling the sheep. At one count the participants were working over 2000 head. During the day we worked on chutes, pens, and out work with about 400 head. Each day started with a gather and sort and ended mixing the flock again and taking them to the bedding grounds.
At the end of the clinic the participants were allowed to stay and help load out lambs that were being moved to the irrigated circles. Trudy, Simon and I could not stay and help that day as we had to get Simon back for an early flight monday morning.
