We stopped for one night at Sherman County RV Park which is a public campground in Moro, Oregon. It’s by the fairgrounds which we didn’t know. When we arrived, we found that the 107th Annual Sherman County Fair started today and it's HERE! We're dry camping within a short stroll of the fair. It's a real old fashion fair with animal breeding competitions, pie baking contests, bull riding, cattle sorting contest and, of course, an old-fashioned car demolition derby.
We watched cattle sorting tonight. They have calves, each with a number 0-9 on their back, all bunched together in one pen and another pen is empty. The judges call out a number and the pair on horseback have to move the cattle one-by-one into the empty pen starting with the cow with that number on its back then going up from there sequentially. There’s some kind of time limit but we couldn’t figure it out. If a cow goes into the pen out of order or if a cow without a number gets in then they are disqualified.
