The 2011 National Sheepdog Finals: Webcast to the World!
The 2010 webcast of the National Sheepdog Finals was a rousing success, attracting almost 3,000 viewers from all over the world. For 2011, the webcast will be bigger and better, with more cameras and even more coverage. Thanks to Serta, the lead sponsor of the 2011 Finals webcast, viewers will be able to enjoy a free hour of the broadcast. Time beyond that can be purchased on a pay-per-view basis. In addition, we have some bonuses in store for everyone that are still being finalized—check back here for updates as they become available.
