THE inaugural Merton Campdraft event was held over the weekend of April 9 and 10 with some 88 entries and held at McCormack Park, Merrijig.
Following the huge success the committee sent out a big thankyou to all involved in organising and running the event.
"All the boys in the back yards and everyone who helped load and unload the cattle; they were certainly put under pressure and did a magnificent job," secretary Lisa Smith said.
Ms Smith also thanked McCormack Park and the Merrijig Campdraft Club for all their help and support.
The committee were very grateful for the sponsorship by Elders, Fox Patoral, Transedel Livestock Carriers, Oakdale Meats, Fox Dairies, Nutrien Alexandra, Cav Equine, BR & C Stock Agents, Swan Hill, Jordan and Marnie Arbuthnot, Sue and Dave Martin (Animal Naturopathics), Tom and Lenice Spicer, and Pinnaroo Pastoral.
