My game plan every time I go to the herd is to be smooth, clean and accurate, and let the chips fall where they may. Tonight we cut good cows and I stayed out of her way and let her work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is my highest score ever, and hers,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s pretty special.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Miss Ella Rey is a 7-year-old mare by Dual Rey out of Huggs Olena.
