A pic of the women's events at Fergus. Like I said there, those women were doing a better job than the most of the guys you see at the games. And they didn't have bulky builds, nor were they big/tall without bulk - they were about 5'6"-5'7" (the tallest might have been 5'9").
Or as my farm-raised 5'0", 100 lb mother said after hearing about the sheaf toss - "Pitch a 16 lb bale of hay into a 20 foot loft with a fork? I could have done that when I was 16!"
