As everyone knows cattle have been in short supply & hauling is getting very expensive, so we are stressing to everyone that it is important to PRE ENTER as much as possible. We need to make sure cattle costs are maintained to keep entry fees affordable and still have plenty of fresh cattle to work, so it's important to get entries in to get the correct amount of cattle. No one that pre enters is charged anything if they are unable to attend the show or decide they are not ready for that class, we are just looking for a head count as close as possible.
We hope to see everyone out in support of NICHA this year and look forward to another great year of cutting. Remember we are only as strong as our members so please get your memberships in. As our membership & sponsorship grows we hope to add more year end awards, added money classes, and more venues for our members. So get the work out to come out and cut with NICHA in 2012!
Congratulations to our 2011 Rookie of the Year Traci Martin
