I have not seen BOG yet - don't know why I haven't received it - but I would suspect it has to do with the cost of bringing sheep and stock handlers to the fairgrounds. I do understand the facility would be sufficient and it certainly would be nice to have it all onsite.

I would like to know why we can not hold the herding event on the show grounds in Springfield Ohio? Two hours away is ridiculous! For many of us who want to show, watch conformation and doing herding it will be next to impossible. I would hope this matter could be readdressed and reconsidered. Thanks in advance. Normally I keep a low profile but this seem nuts?as I hear the herding area is awesome for both A course and C course.
