Working Dogs a Part of Ag Day in Rapid City, SD 2010
By Jamie Spring
I had the opportunity to be a part of a great event in Rapid City, SD the middle of May. SD WIFE (Women Involved in Farm Economics) organized an Ag Day for all of the third graders in the area elementary schools, and there were 1200 kids that participated over the two days. The event was set up to offer these primarily “city kids” exposure to all kinds of agriculture, and to get a basic understanding of where their food actually comes from. There were beef and dairy cattle stations, weather and crop stations, bees, bats, timber, horses and rodeo. Everything was geared to be hands-on, and it was pretty cute watching kids carrying bits of wool around after the shearing station.
For my part, I took some yearling ewes and dogs, as well as a few bucket calves the kids could pet. Laura Hicks joined me with her arsenal of great dogs and we set out to show the kids what great partners the dogs were. We worked to explain that our dogs aren’t just pets, but are bred to work and help us maintain our ranching livelihoods, handling both cattle and sheep. The kids were very interested and asked great questions. They were fascinated by the dogs, and loved that we communicate with whistles. They enjoyed watching the sheep and really picked up on the relationship between different dogs and how they handled the sheep. At the end of each presentation we let them meet and pet a few of the dogs.
As part of the feedback process the kids were asked to draw pictures depicting what Ag Day meant to them. There were so many about our dogs! Many of them remembered certain dogs’ names, and there were quite a few who drew a gal with a blond ponytail and a whistle (Laura). It was a great event, and I look forward to sharing in it again next year!

4th ANNUAL PATRICK SHANNAHAN SHEEPDOG BOOT CAMP
June 18-20th, 2010
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to host the fourth annual Patrick Shannahan Sheepdog Boot Camp. We had a great turnout and were able to extend the clinic to three days this year. The clinic was held on our ranch just northwest of Union Center, SD.
Day one was private lessons in the morning, but turned into a mini-clinic as discussion was welcomed and enjoyed after each work session. The afternoon was spent discussing the ins and outs of judging, as well as how that should determine our handling decisions on the trial field. The judging clinic was low-key with questions discussed throughout, and was a great learning experience for all of us involved. I sure thought it was a great addition! Days two and three were a working clinic and we had great participants. I was able to get help starting two young dogs, as did a few others. We also had Open dogs and handlers working, so were exposed to many different challenges and work styles. We worked on yearling range ewes, and also had some dog broke sheep for the young dogs. The sheep worked really well, and offered a great learning experience.
My favorite part of the clinic is that the atmosphere is very easy going, and questions are always welcome. Everyone learns, not just the person working their dog. Patrick has a great way of explaining things, and gets through to people as well as dogs. We grilled both evenings and enjoyed camaraderie and a lot of laughs. We had participants from all over the western US with different levels of experience and enjoyed spirited discussion on and off the field. One of the best things I heard was when someone said “Why wasn’t I here last year? I won’t miss this clinic again!”.
Plans are already set to host Patrick again next year, and the dates will be June 17-19, 2011. Many of the participants have expressed interest in attending next year, and we’d love to have you join us as well! If you’d like more information you can contact Jamie Spring at jamiespringbc@yahoo.com or at (605) 985-5961.
