| More of what we have had |
 |
| This is a pair of Ayershires that Bud Kluchnik bought Casper and Cotton. The first , Casper was there when I went to Maine in January of 2000 to pick up the Guernsey team and the other we picked while I was there. Well when I went back inJuly I brought them home and sent them to Rod Branch's place in Maysville Ga, until February of the next year when I traded him a pair of Highland Holstein cross steers that I bought from Raymond Tilton at the Fryeburg fair. I kept them through this past November's Mid-South Ox Drover's meeting and Mac Mclendon of Walterbouro, SC came and purchased them. |
| This is the first team of brown swiss steers that I had, Spit and Shine. I had to go show some horses in Va with a good freind Richard Redifer and while at the show there were a pair of Brown Swiss steers and their owners parked next to us. I stated tot he couple that I had some steers at home and they scoffed at it cause they had heard tales of this before and when I produced pictures and information them they were intrigued. Well phone calls and conversations led to the steers being purchased by Hank and Patti Redfeild of Red Springs, Nc and the steers wer renamed John (far in photo near in yoke) and Wayne (near in photo off in yoke). Well Pattie likes experience and you can't get that on just one team of calves so I traded here another pair and took these back. Well when I took a phone call one day from some freinds that I had met at the MODA meeting and they were looking for a team just like these and so again after all this they ended up in Corning, Iowa at the home of Nancy and Ivan Dixon where they are used for parades and display, as well a little farm work, a very little. he he! |

| Well this is another story of sorts. I was over visiting Hank and Patti Redfeild and was delivering a pair of Holstein / Durham crosses, that I had recently bought for them in Maine, and was casually talking about the roan calf that I had seen while there at the Tilton farm in Wilton, Me. Well, Hank stated that he liked odd patterned or marked cattle and that he thought if the price was right he would like to have him. Well I went back to the Fryeburg fair in October and brought him home with some others and they just loved him. He has since been broke single and what with the time and effort that they put into this steer he should be the best broke thing around by the time he is an ox. When Hank was first asked what breed he was he stated that "Danged if he know what he is" and the name stuck, so if you are in eastern North Carolina you should go see "Danged" and the other steers and oxen at the Good Ole Days farm. |
