Monday,
September 29th cooled off a bunch!
You can see the
steam rising from the pond early morning. Ben got the
other colt, Chic, castrated this afternoon with the help of
Bob Apperson, Welch, Oklahoma and his sister Maureen.
Before Leslie could get out the door, they were done.
Right - Double and Keeper during the morning run.

Auction at Chetopa,
Kansas for Ben on Sunday the 28th
Funny, the Ford
tractor he was interested in from the sale bill, didn't show up.
And the trailer sold
for double of what he was going to pay for it. :>))

Ed Hamersley,
Walker Missouri
Sunday the 21st started off
bright and sunny with a nice breeze. By the time Ed
made it over after church early afternoon, it thundered
and rained big time for about 20 minutes. Ben and
Ed slipped into the house to watch dog videos and
discuss pedigrees.
After it dried out a little,
they ventured back out to work some young dogs.
Think the pups and goats called it a draw :>))
However, they did know what to do with the calves -
below, Patch (10 mos) shows his stuff to Ed.

Michelle and Bob visited with
the congregation about the 40 Days of Purpose which starts
October 11th. They went through the 5 steps which
included daily reading from the best-seller book, Purpose
Driven Life by Rick Warren. There are over 4,000
churches nationwide that will be participating in this 6
week program. If you are interested in learning more
about it, the Purpose Driven web site is at

If you're in the northeastern
Oklahoma area, drop in on
Cowboy
Junction anytime. Today after church services there was
a big roping. The one a couple Sundays ago had over
500 teams. |

Jack Warden,
Bluejacket, Oklahoma
Jack, our neighbor, had a busy day Saturday the
20th. He helped a relative gather cattle early, helped
out at the Ratcliff Angus Farm annual sale all day and
on his way home stopped by to help Ben castrate a colt.
Mac, the sorrel colt, was none
the worse for wear. These experienced cowboys made it
look easy. The whole thing didn't take 10 minutes. |
