Rodear-Cowdog Competition-"Paws For A Cause" Oct. 27th, Red Bluff, Ca.

A new event is coming to the Tehama District Fairgrounds on Saturday, Oct. 27th, at 10 am. The “Paws For A Cause-Top Cowdog Competition” has great potential to benefit our region in a variety of ways-social, educational, and economical. Admission will be free. Levels of sponsorships are offered , as all participants are volunteering their time and resources to success of this event. Opening ceremonies will include the Tehama County Young Marine color guard, and the Sweet Adelines singing the National Anthem. Merle and Sandi Newton of Crystal Rose Cowdog College are partnering with the local Back to School Project to benefit the children of Tehama County. The Newtons have recruited ten handlers to compete in timed trials to sort and maneuver cattle through obstacles. American Quarter Horse Association Professional Horseman Curt Pate from Helena, Montana, will offer training in low stress cattle handling after the competition. Call Crystal Rose Cowdog College for details. 530-529-3700 The event will include a demonstration by the K-9 Unit of the Red Bluff City Police Department. Merle Newton said of the rodear event, “It will showcase the brilliance of the cowdog, the cattlemen's compassion for his horse, his dog and the livestock they handle". “It will bring the agriculture and urban communities together for a common cause. The event is sure to grow, as it will be a benefit, more than a competition." said Bill Dale of the California Beef Council. “Rodear” is a Spanish word meaning to circle something. The high desert cowboys of Nevada and California call it “rodearing” the cattle when they gather them out on the range and work them with the need of a corral. Rodear has become a competitive sport to display the skills of the cowboy, his dog and horse. Children and adults alike will witness action from the old west- the use of a cowdog to sort cattle. Cowboys once drove cattle thousands of miles. The challenge was to handle the herd in an easy fashion in order to maintain the health and weight of each cow. A special “Meet, Pet, & Greet” event will be hosted by Bud’s Jolly Cone at 455 Antelope Blvd., Red Bluff on Saturday Oct. 20th. 12pm-2pm. The public will be able to see cowdogs and handlers up close and personal. Since 2004, the Back to School Project of Tehama County has taken thousands of disadvantaged children on a “Great Shopping Day” for clothing, shoes, and a backpack in preparation for the first day of the new school year. BTS has hosted an annual “Cuts for Kids” event, offering free haircuts to all school-aged children, provided by licensed hair stylists. Event sponsor forms for Paws For A Cause are available www.backtoschoolproject.com The public is invited to visit “Cowdog Competition-Pause For A Cause” event page on Facebook. Tax-deductible donations and pledges will be received at the Oct. 27th event. http://www.cowdogtrainingonline.com/ Merle and Sandi Newton at crcdc1@gmail.com Agri-businesses, we invite you to share in the priviledge of sponsoring this cowdog rodear competition.
