Herding always starts the weekend before the national. So what else is new??? We got to see some people that normally do no attend the herding at last years national because it was so close. But the herding must be set up for the dogs and people who are competing in the event not for the people who may want to come by and see it. they have spent many 100's of dollars, training their dogs so the location and the sheep and what is important to them and must come first.
