Happenings and Visitors

They are calling for more snow this afternoon and tonight!  So Leslie and Keeper gathered the pasture calves first thing this morning while Ben worked dogs.

We let them drink on the way by the pond.  Beats filling the water tank with rural water!

Leslie bundles up to go - a sharp north wind.

Ben uses Don Hankins' "Sugar" to work

the calves once they are in the corrals.

James and Norma Loftis of Chelsea, Oklahoma

The Loftis' stopped in Tuesday the 31st to check on "Kate's" progress.  Bright and sunny, but with a c-o-l-d north wind.

Right - Kate turning one around for Ben when he worked her for Jim.

Doug and Desi Fidler

of Miami, Oklahoma

Desi surprised Doug with The Perfect Stock Dog Training Video for Christmas.  They stopped in on December 29th, Sunday afternoon after the snow melted off and the temps warmed up to bring Sadie their Australian Cattle Dog.

Doug and Ben try Sadie on the goats first.

Ben puts Sadie on the training calves.

No coffee for Desi.  She and Doug are expecting their first child in March 2003.
