CUT-PEN-HOLD Time limit: 60 seconds with a 30-second warning. No trash is allowed over the foul line. Cut-and-pen calves in consecutive order. Ex: Announcer calls out #7. The team must cut that calf out, put it in pen #1, and hold it with a horse/rider. Next, calf #8 needs to be cut, put in pen #2, and held with a horse/rider. Finally, calf #9 needs to be cut and cross the foul line. Time will be called when this calf crosses the line. The announcer will only call out the number of the FIRST calf. It's the team's responsibility to get the other two calves in correct numerical order. NO escapes once a calf(ves) is/are penned. An escaped calf = DQ Credit will be given for partially completing the event. Ex: team penned one calf only; team penned two calves; team completed the event. A cut calf may cross back over the foul line and into the herd.
