🐾 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: LAURA MCKILLOP & AUSTRALIAN WORKING STOCK DOG MAGAZINE 🐾

A big thank you to Laura McKillop and the Australian Working Stock Dog Magazine for coming on board again as a returning sponsor of the Murray Valley Yard Dog Trial! 🙌

This year they're supporting the prize for the highest placed female handler in each event — another wonderful initiative putting the spotlight on the fantastic women competing in our sport. We love seeing sponsors get behind our female handlers like this, and we're so grateful for Laura and the AWSD Magazine team's continued support.

Thank you for backing our trial year after year! 👏🐑🐕

See you all out at the trial! 📅

🐾 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: SHEEPMETRIX 🐾

A huge thank you to SheepMetriX for once again backing the Murray Valley Yard Dog Trial! 🙌

Sheepmetrix is a returning sponsor and once again they're getting behind something we absolutely love — supporting a prize for the highest scoring female handler in each event. It's a fantastic initiative that recognises the incredible talent of our women handlers out in the yards, and we couldn't be more grateful to have Sheepmetrix championing it.

Support that gets behind our sport in ways that really matter — thank you, Sheepmetrix! 👏🐑🐕

🌾 A big thank you to our returning sponsor, Drover Ag Recruitment, backing the Improver event at this year's Championships! 🌾

Drover Ag is a specialist agricultural recruitment agency, connecting skilled people with farms, stations and agribusinesses across Australia. From farm hands right through to farm managers and senior leadership roles, they know what it takes to build strong ag teams. Recruitment Manager Bec brings her own firsthand experience running a commercial beef operation to the role, and has drawn some great parallels between it and her day job — her video series linking the principles of low stress livestock handling to low stress staff management is well worth a watch for anyone leading a team on farm. We're grateful for Drover Ag's continued support of our Improver competitors and their dogs. Thanks for coming back, Drover Ag! 🐑🐾
