April 2003 Trial Results

The Mid South Stock Dog Association was proud to host the Double B. Boys Ranch Sheep Trial at the Double B. Boys Ranch, in Millington, TN, Saturday, April 5, and Sunday, April 6, 2003.  As always, everyone enjoyed the big well kept field, and the hay barn when it rained Sunday. 

We want to thank David Marlin, of the Boys Ranch, for allowing us to have the trial once again at their excellent facility.  We would like to thank Kyle Ellis, Harold Elder, Steve Riddle, David Roberson, Tim Stults, Scott Kelsoe, Royce Bartee, and the Boys Ranch boys for handling and spotting the sheep, provided to us by John and Gloria Atkinson.  We would like to thank Jeff Evans and Trent Wilson for clerking for our judge, Danny Schilling, who was kind enough to bring us Paws dog food for our 1st place winners on Sunday.  We would like to thank Bob Urban and his FedEx team for catering the event from Post Office Barbecue, of Munford, TN, on Saturday, and Bob for bringing fried chicken on Sunday.  Thanks to Gloria Atkinson for helping with the secretary end of the trial.  Thanks to Richard Freudenberg of Fineberg Packing, and Patty Rogers of ABCA for their continued support by providing our added money.
