Fellow Cutters...we are excited to offer an "extra" Cutting for the 2012 season at the Santa Cruz County Fair!  The cutting will be held on Sunday, September 16, 2012 starting at 9:00am.  We will be using our usual class schedule (see our Class List page) and this show will count towards our Year-end awards!   Stalls and shavings will be available at the County Fairgrounds and we will be releasing & posting current information on available motels as soon as we can.

OK, So we didn't quite "beat the heat" for our last spring cutting!  As all of you who came on Saturday know, it was blazing hot!!  We had a great cutting anyway and got it all done as early as possible.  Thanks to all of you who came out to cut and also those who helped us clean up the site before our summer break.

Thanks to all of you, SACHA had a great spring for 2012 and a fabulous NCHA show on 3/31 & 4/1!  Our last two cuttings for the 2012 season will probably be the last Saturday in October & the last Saturday in November, 2012.  As soon as those dates are confirmed, they will be posted in our Upcoming Shows page.

Have a great summer everyone and we'll see you in October!!!

WOW!!!  Look what happens when you "order" good weather!

Last weekend's NCHA cutting was a record setting Cutting for our Southern AZ group!  We also had a 97 works, one-day record on Sunday!  Thanks to EVERYONE who helped with the show and, of course, to all the Cutters who came to cut!   A special thanks to Terrye Kemp, our show secretary, for another great show.   We love ya, Terrye!

We had a great time and hope you all did as well.

Remember our last cutting before the summer heat is in three weeks....on April 21st.  This is a regular jackpot cutting, so you must reserve your cattle by Wednesday evening April 18th. (9:00pm) in order to be a part of the draw.  Reserve your cattle by calling (520) 398-9033 or emailing to needcows@sachacutting.com

The Southern AZ Cutting NCHA show is coming up on Saturday March 31st & Sunday April 1!  We will be using the same format again this year, a one day show - spread over two days.

Please check the Chatter or our Upcoming Show page for links to the proposed class schedule.  We are planning Derby Open and Non-pro for the first two classes on Sunday morning, April 1 for anyone that is interested.

Also, we will be using our electric flag for anyone wanting to practice during either day of the show.

We are "planning" better weather this year, so everyone should be able to come and enjoy the facilities.  There are a limited  number of stalls available at the Marana stockyards, so please send me an email (needcows@sachacutting.com) or call (520) 398-9033 to reserve stalls for the show.

Hope to see you all on the 31st!
Cindy
