Ron Burkey and Hank are having a pretty good run. The outruns were good and the turnback was taken quickly. Lines into the fetch gates on both gathers were among the best we've seen here today. The drive has been steady but slow and the sheep got high coming into the crossdrive. I think Ron thought he had the sheep on line but the passed the panels on the high side. They came into the shedding ring with only eight minutes on the clock which is cutting it fine on these sheep. Ron and Hank were unable to solve the riddle of the shedding ring and timed out. So far, only two completed sheds today.
