The learning classes are Ranch, Pro-novice, and Novice-novice.
Ranch (1st up Sunday morning) has a shorter outrun than open and we'll move the fetch panels for a different fetch line, we'll move the cross-drive panels for a shorter cross drive, there is no shedding in the learning classes, and the pen may have to be turned to face a different direction.
Pro-novice has a shorter outrun than ranch (same fetch line as ranch), no cross-drive (drive panels can stay where they are), and the pen may have to be turned.
Novice-novice has a shorter outrun than Pro-novice and they wear the sheep to the drive panels and then pen.
I'll report back sometime next early week after clean-up and recovery Monday.
