Cattle Working Dog Demonstration.

Early this morning (my 88th birthday) I was by a cattle pen. It was a pretty morning. There was pretty grass, pretty new yearling cows, cattle working dogs, and a young cattleman telling me about cattle working dogs.





They brought a swimming pool for cooling the dogs.




The cattleman spoke commands. He uses a whistle when he is at a distance. He told me that a good working dog is worth 3 to 5 cowboys. A top dog can be worth $5000. Out of a litter only one or two puppies will develop into a top cattle working dog.
