David and Marilyn Stark
of Miami, Oklahoma
Ben had an
opportunity to stop in to visit David and Marilyn this
afternoon. David's dog is "Rowdy" a son of Woodrow's
Jack. He and Ed Hamersley have been beating the bushes
for some of their old blood of Border Collies.
The Starks are only
recently retired from cattle ranching and Rowdy, at 8 years
of age, was one of their last working dogs. |

Coon hunting weather!
Thursday evening,
June 5th, we loaded up dogs and headed to Dwight and Connie
Newton's at Salina to meet up with Harley Stewart from
Oscar, OK. Harley and JD Eubanks were up to look at
coon dogs. Yep, they're coon hunting cowboys!
(Ben's a retired coon hunter :>))
Dwight and Connie
are in the finishing stages of house remodeling so we've
added a few extra pictures of the visit. |

Cool and easy on Saturday,
May 31st. |
|
Friday was still 92
degrees at 7:30 pm with a lot of humidity. Today got to
the high 70's with a nice cool breeze. Ben worked hard to
finish stringing his west 1/2 mile of electric fence for the new
goats - whenever he finds them :>)) Leslie and Keeper went
out in the evening to gather the pasture cattle. We
thought the ticks had died down some...so, we don't know which
of us left one waltzing on top the chest deep freeze! |

Craig County Ranch Rodeo,
Friday May 30! |
|
We had a great time.
Of course we timed it so that things were already starting and
the calcutta was half finished. That way no last minute
requests for Ben to participate :>)) Folks, if you aren't
from this neck of the woods and don't really know what these
cowboys have to do to make a living - this will sure enough give
you a good view. These people vary in age from 20 to 70.
It's teams of 4 and these people are a team.
