Hey thanks Ailsa, we joined the mob at Binalong and if any one is considering going, do it you will never regret it.
Unlike many workshops that we have participated in, this one was held on an actual working station with 9 thousand sheep.
The shed and yards are used all year round and the dogs are used all year round and really put in the hours during shearing, lambing, marking, drenching and crutching seasons.
It was awesome to be there surrounded by huge hills and granite boulders and share the knowledge of these guys, they do compete in yard and utility trials through the sheep trial association.
Anyone who says they have seen it all or have become board with workshops or training days should seriously think about doing Brads workshop.
You get to sample everything, from yard work to drafting, penning, backing, working inside the shed and out in the paddock, Brad covers everything.
Words like grip, lift, force, presence are every day usage.
The whole experience was amazing and made so much sense than just pushing a few sticky sheep around a round yard.
We came away with so much more understanding and direction than from any workshop we have been in before.
I am so happy that I got to go and look forward to Brad being available for our next workshop at Elmore, hopefully in November.
You can bet your bottom dollar we will be going up to Brads again in October and our fees will be paid very quickly to insure we don't miss out or run out of money at the last minute.
There will be no excuse for missing this opportunity.
Hope to see many of you there.
