[QUOTE="baleflipper, post: 876427, member: 16896"] I graduated High School in spring of 1967. At that point in time I owned an International Harvester pickup truck year model 1958, an 1100 lb bay horse ,five leopard cow dogs and 2 -35 foot plymouth nylon ropes. I got paid $7 a day to pen and work cattle or$12 to catch a wild cow. That was only time in my life I was realy foot loose and free. There are a long line of dogs and horses behind me now,Wish I had some of them back. Best one I ever owned was half leopard an half Airedale. She had no quit in her. Rode off and left her for dead in a pasture 30 miles from home,she got hot an passed out. Couple days later she was home. Found a note on my door from a friend .Note read" Heres your dog. Found her headed this way along the road.Stopped and hollered at her ,she jumped on truck. I got her here got out to leave this note and she bit me! Tommy. Tommy is long gone now too. To those of you used to cows that come to cubes and see you regular,It is hard to understand south Texas cow handling.Some of those cows see a human maybe twice a year. The brush is so thick a man on horseback is hard pressed to pen cattle. A good dog is worth 3 men on horses in the brush. The dogs bunch the cattle and keep stragglers and loners in the bunch. It has been my privilage to have had many good leopard dogs. I hold them in high regard. [/QUOTE]
