Cow Palace Sorting

San Francisco, California

 

The first ever RSNC round robin competition in California was held at the Grand National Rodeo on October 27-28, 2012.  Ten Sorters in each Division
who qualified througout the year competed on the afternoon of Saturday October 27, to determine who would win the Todd Jeys Trophy Saddles!  The #4 and above was won by Bobbie Elliot.  The #3 & Under was very close with three people sorting the same number of cattle, but when the time was calculated the winner was Karen Friend.  The saddles were presented by Cotton Rosser himself!

Sunday the 28th of October brought almost 500 teams to compete for all the cash and awards.  The cattle were great and competition fierce, as you would expect for The Cow Palace!  Thanks to all our participants, and if you missed it, make plans to attend next year!
