Rodney Sullivan, Ed Hamersley - Busy time!


Rodney Sullivan, Adair, Oklahoma

Rod stopped in first thing Thursday morning the 2nd to pick up Rusty before he headed out with his Braunvieh heifers to the Ozark Farm Festival in Springfield, Missouri.  Above Ben has Rusty bring in the training calves and Rod gives Rusty a "test spin" in the corral.

Rusty is a full brother to Ben's Lena female.  They'll both be nice using dogs.

Tuesday, September 30th was a great day!  We had revolving doors.  The morning started out with a fun visit from Dr. Charles Long, Overton, Texas and William Hetzel, Jennings, Louisiana.  Charles and William are long-time Border Collie breeders and cattlemen.  They talked dogs, worked dogs and when lunch time rolled around, Ed Hamersley drove in just as we were headed to the sale barn for lunch.  The more the merrier.

After lunch, Charles and William headed back to Branson to meet their wives where they are spending the week.  The girls got to stay in Branson and shop all day!

Drizzle started at lunch and lasted through early afternoon.  Ben and Ed whiles away part of that time at the kitchen table.  When it let up they got the tire feeders unloaded that Ed hauled over and a few dogs worked.

Harvey Price, Holdenville, Oklahoma arrived in time to watch dog work and visit a bit before heading out with Jesse, the female Kelpie he came to pick up.  We couldn't think of a better way to spend a rainy day then with these folks.
