On August 17-21, 2022 in Mankota, directly behind the Mankota stockyards), the annual Hilltop sheepdog Trial will take place. The test involves a dog moving a set of sheep through various obstacles through the handler using a whistle and voice, often 350 yards away. We are expecting 40-60 teams coming from across North America. As will , this year the Western Canadian Finals will be held in conjunction - a trial which is 37 years old.
