Red Bluff

So, last weekend, Logan and I went to the Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale for work and despite it being a terribly long weekend and both of us picking up an awesome head cold, it was nice to catch up with some of the locals I used to know when we lived in Tehama County. I really enjoy it there, it is much more similar to home than other parts of California. Red Bluff is larger than where either Logan or I grew up, but the pace of living is so much slower than it is in Sacramento.

My work had a booth in the Tradeshow and Logan was there to work ring at the numerous sales. I was also taking pictures for the magazine. Here are a few of my favorites:

I also loved this dog that got a bit distracted after performing. There was a big mud puddle at the front gate that most of the dogs took at dip in after their runs. But this dog didn't want to leave.

These are my favorite horses of the week. Many of the champions were gray. As always, there was a nice selection of horses!

This pretty boy was the cow cutting champion and went for a mere $12,000 -- which was probably a steal!

This was the confirmation champion and one that I am certain my friend Kristan would love. He was big and tall. He was also much more affordable than the horse pictured above. I think Kristan should come find Macy Jo a big gray gelding next year at the horse sale!

And finally, I tried to get a couple of shots of my favorite ringman, but turns out he gets easily annoyed by the camera. These are of him taking phone bids at the dog sale and working ring at the horse sale.

Next weekend we are taking a trip to a sale in Madras, Oregon. I don't really like long road trips, but I do like Logan and I don't like spending Valentine's Day weekend alone, so I will try to get some good pictures and update on how the trip goes.
