What is Ranch Sorting?
Ranch sorting is where traditional ranch work meets modern competition. It is a sport that evolved from separating cattle into pens for branding, doctoring, or transport on the ranch. The objective is simple yet challenging. Separate and sort cattle from one pen into another in numerical order, against the clock, testing speed, strategy, and teamwork between horse and rider. Two riders compete in pairs, and people sometimes refer to this event as team sorting.
