Herbert Holmes and sheepdog Pal from Texas work together, above, to herd sheep into a pen during the first day of the Soldier Hollow Classic Sheepdog Competition in Midway on Friday. Below, Pal gets feisty while herding the sheep. At right, Cap, a sheepdog owned by Florence Wilson, cools off after competing in the event. Friday's contests were considered the most challenging of the four-day competition because the sheepdogs and their masters were navigating a new course and dealing with unfamiliar sheep.
