Video Transcript

We are going to began a demonstration of an actual ranch sorting. It will be a little bit slower so we can try and highlight and emphasize the skill and strategy involved. Our cows are not numbered correctly today. So we are going to be doing some duplicates and improvising so that we can show the sport but we wont be necessarily to be able to do the full sequence of numbers. We do have twelve cows so we will continue to sort then one at a time in the order that we've have come to understand. It will start with the announcer saying 'flags up" and a judge sitting right here at the fowl line. The judge will have a flag up and as they say that it entitles me to cross the line. At which time the announcer will say "your number is". We are going to start a zero today so that we slowly go through and show you more of the strategy and then we will pick it up to be the speed. So I am going to go in there and I am going to look for my zero and then slowly bring it across as Laura guards what we call "the hole". I want try to bring as few cows as I can so that she doesn't have to work quite so hard at protecting that important space. If the wrong cow comes across then we've completely gone bust. We have two ones today so I am looking for my next one and it comes along very easily and now we will look for our threes. We do not have a two. We have two threes today. So that would be the next order and she has, as she brings it around I am trying to let my horse do it's job and if both of them came together sense that's preferred order today. That would work and we got a trash cow that we have got a trash cow that we have got to stop. OK, so now I am going to get the three and Laura will let it go and she's going to look for we have a four and that four comes across I am already on my way out and now I have two sevens and sinse their coming together we will let them go. In our competition if we had two in order that would be fine as long as they were correctly placed. So now we will go ahead get the red cow to the white face and leave the black and the white. What would be considered our trash cows in a real competition.
