Eric Wanman, Idaho, Dr. Liz Pokorny, Alan Sanders, Darvin and Tonya Nix


Friday, December 3rd. Ben hauled goats to the Leach Sale Barn.  Notice his fancy loading operation.  Stock trailer to back of pickup.  Saturday, December 4th.  Darvin and Tonya Nix stop in on their way out to Hutchinson, KS to visit Darvin's 96 year old grandmother who just moved back from California.  She has just now moved into a retirement home.  "Chic" looks on.


December arrives bringing sunshine.  Above, Dr. Liz Pokorny, Cross 7 Veterinary Clinic drops by.  Leslie was doing some advertising for her.  If you're in NE

OK or SW MO, give Dr. Liz a call 918-244-0269 - she's full service, mobile x-ray, fertility test - bulls and stallions, preg check - palpation or ultrasound.  She does a lot of ranch work around here.  Above, Alan Sanders stopped by on the way to the Welch sale barn.  His pup, Reba (right) is a litter sister to Colt (snotbox left).  Colt has taken exception to his sister and is not very nice.  Of course, all of us are hoping their pushiness and biting translates into cowdogs, but only time will tell.


Monday and Tuesday, November 30th.  Eric Wanman, Buhl, Idaho stopped in on one of his dog runs.  Eric and Ben talked pedigrees and dogs much of the time.  Above Eric puts a nice 6 month male dog he bred on goats.  He's hauling the pup to LR Alexander.

Right Colt heads Baldy.


Monday, November 29th. Keeper brings up the goats.  Both bucks are for sale -  "Gordon" and "McGraw."  Young Dexter Farmer of Welch purchased "McGraw."  Right, Ben, Dexter and Dexter's grandfather got 'em loaded.


Sunday, November 28th.  More drizzle.  Ben couldn't work dogs until late in the afternoon.  Above, Trey Bean's Hank heads one.  Right, Ed Hamersley's Bic heels.


Saturday, November 27th.  Awesome sunrise Ben snapped just before he went out the door.  Above right, Bill Smock's Petey during training session.
