Cowboy Junction study buddies came over for potluck and
trail riding. The trailers started arriving around 6 pm.
We thought it was gonna be hot and humid, but we must have all

Good food and fellowship. |

Friday,
August 27th. Overnight escapees. Ben and
Lena load up to go look for them. When Leslie came
out, she noticed they were in front of the
corrals in the road. She and Keeper slipped them back in just in
time for morning grain. Either the new calf Ben bought
at yesterday's sale is a houdini, or we left a gate
unlatched !! |

Thursday, August
26th. Sale Day at the Welch Stockyards. Ben
sends Lena to gather. Ben sent 9 month old Bill after she got
them started. It was pretty humid, so Keeper joined in
to shove 'em in the corrals. The dogs had a good time !
Ben got his three calves sorted off in no time.

a visit on his way through Oklahoma. Sean and his wife
raise Suffolks and he is looking for a good stock dog.
