Hereford Tour Season in Midwest Editorial Comments... Byron Bayers
TM The Largest Privately Owned Hereford Newspaper in North America The one that’s read “from cover to cover.” • Visit us on the web at: www.herefordamerica.com Serving Commercial Cattlemen & Registered Hereford Breeders Vol. 12, No. 2 Published by: Hereford America, Inc. • HC 3, Box 38 • Reva, SD 57651 Editorial Comments... Byron Bayers The big news in the cattle industry this week has to be the report that the Canadian border is opening to purebred cattle. Many people on Byron Bayers both sides have anguished over not being able to bring their cattle down or for the Canadians to sell their cattle into the US and not be able to deliver the live animal to its new owner. The border closing had a devastating effect on the Canadian industry and I for one, am happy it is opening. I read a very interesting article in the 52 nd Herd Sire issue of the Canadian Hereford Digest this week. The article is about testing your herd for the Leptin gene. According to the University of Saskatchewan Genetic Research, cattle with normal Leptin do not October 2007 Hereford Tour Season in Midwest High Plains Hereford Tour AHA Rep Jay Elfeldt and CHB VP of Supply Jim Williams were tour hosts for the High Plains Hereford Tour September 10 th – 13 th . The tour originated in Rapid City, SD on Monday and continued through Nebraska and Kansas and then back to Rapid City. There were about 50 participants from 16 states that rode the bus for almost 1,500 miles in the 3-1/2 day tour. This was a well-planned and educational tour. Hereford breeder stops were Baker Herefords/JBN Herefords of Rapid City, South Dakota; Monahan Herefords of Hyannis, Nebraska; Jamison Herefords of Quinter, Kansas, Sandhill Farms of Haviland, Kansas; Van Newkirk Herefords of Oshkosh, Nebraska and Olson Ranches of Harrisburg, Nebraska. Each of these breeder stops were different from the previous, showing us different types of Hereford cattle, different management practices and how best to cope with the environment in their region. Olson Ranches, Art and Doug Olson, also conduct one of the American Hereford Association’s Sire Tests each year. It was very interesting to the group to see how individual sires are performance-tested. Olson’s fill a vital niche to our Hereford breed in providing these realworld statistics. Feedyard stops were Decatur County Feedyard of Oberlin, Kansas; Ford County Feed Yard of Dodge (continued on page 20) (continued on page 24) Marc Hotchkiss (continued on page 10) Van Newkirk Herefords, Oshkosh, NE was one of the tour stops on the High Plains Hereford Tour.

PRST STD U.S. POSTAGE PAID Bismarck, ND Permit 280 The South Dakota Hereford Association with their ribeye steak booth at the DakotaFest farm show in Mitchell, Marc Hotchkiss SD did it again! They shattered their old record of 6,300 sandwiches (and 1/2 lb. hamburgers) sold last year at the farm show by 1,200, selling 7,500 sandwiches. The secret here is not in the sauce but in the meat! Using Vande Rose Farms Premium Hereford Beef and CHB, the ribeye steak sandwich is an item that people clamor for when they attend DakotaFest. SD Hereford members work the booth during the three-day event. It takes 20-30 people each day to operate the booth and grills. Two large charcoal grills are in operation full-time with a third grill on hand to help during the peak hours.

HEREFORD AMERICA • October 2007 www.herefordamerica.com • 3 Canadian Border to Re-Open: Includes Breeding Stock Washington, D.C. (Sept. 14, 2007) As expected, USDA has finalized its rule that will open trade with Canada to cattle born after March 1, 1999, and to beef from cattle of any age. USDA estimates the rule will go into effect on November 19, 2007, or 60 days from its upcoming publication in the Federal Register. “Once this rule enters into effect, the primary result is expected to be additional imports of Canadian non-fed beef - rather than live cattle - which will replace lean beef imports from other countries such as New Zealand and Australia,” said Gregg Doud, chief economist for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA). USDA has adjusted its annual estimate of older live cattle imports pertaining to this rule from 657,000 head to only 75,000 beginning in 2008. Doud and other industry economists also do not expect this rule to vastly impact the U.S. cattle market, for several reasons: • The age requirement in this rule will disqualify many older Canadian beef cows from importation for lack of proper age documentation. • Transport expenses, the strength of the Canadian dollar, and surplus of packing capacity in Canada are disincentives to live cattle imports. • This additional Canadian packing capacity boosted Canadian cull cow and bull slaughter by 50 percent between 2004 and 2006, and has greatly reduced any backlog of cull cows in Canada. • Although the price of cull cows in Canada is currently about 20 percent less than it is in the United States, annual Canadian cull cow slaughter is only 13 percent of that in the United States. As a result, it is widely expected that Canadian cull cow prices will appreciate to U.S. levels almost immediately after this rule goes into effect. • In the short term, analysts expect U.S. cull cow prices to dip but still stay above 2006 levels. Over the course of the next year, it is expected that this rule could potentially result in a net U.S. cull cow price reduction of approximately $1/cwt. In its written comments on this rule filed in March 2007, NCBA made several requests of the USDA to improve the rule. “We asked USDA to ensure these cattle are permanently identified from Canada, which this rule requires. This was important to NCBA members,” said John Queen, a cattleman from Waynesville, N.C., and 2007 president of NCBA. “We also asked that this rule be implemented in a way that would minimize market disruptions, and both the 60-day period and the age verification requirement are expected to ease this transition.” South Dakota State Fair Futurities & Specials (see page 14 and 18 for more coverage) NCBA also requested USDA reevaluate the date set as to when Canada’s feed ban was deemed effective, because Canada has identified a BSE case born as recently as 2002. After reviewing the science, USDA did not change the March 1999 date. “That said, this date does not impact herd health, food safety or trade, as witnessed by continued trade following discoveries of BSE,” said Doud. “It may be popular to bash this rule, but cattlemen win in the global marketplace when trade is based on internationally accepted guidelines,” added Queen. NCBA also expects this rule to enable the United States to regain its feeder cattle and breeding stock trade with (continued on page 4) Grand Heifer Futurity: Shelly and Lane Zink, Oxford, IN with HPH 25M Pashion 1745, 2/20/06 bred by Hanson’s Polled Herefords, Conde, SD, sired by ANL 57G Maverick 25M.

The future for all segments of our industry – its growth and profitability for the next generation of cattle raisers – depends on our ability to sell all U.S. beef and beef products, including breeding stock, to customers around the world.” Advertiser’s — Index — ANL & Guests Adams Hirsche Anchor Polled Herefords Beery Land & Livestock Berrys, The Big Gully Farm Cross Diamond Ranch Ehlke Herefords Feddes & Sons, Marvin Genetic Selection Hawks Ranch Imig Herefords Largent Herefords Mohican West Printers, The Rausch Herefords Show-Me Polled Hfd.

We recently hosted the noon stop on the first day for our state’s KHA Tour on August 17th. Last December 31 we ended our families 100 th year of Registered Horned Hereford cattle down thru three generations. I informed those on the tour that we, at that time, had achieved a 100% calf crop on our 99th and 100th year and now over six months into this year and were blessed with another 100% live calves this past spring – 2007. That’s 2½ without a single death loss. Also, I might add that the 99th and 100th year calves, 2005 & 2006, were alive and well at weaning time. We have been blessed. My wife, Theresa Jo, and I went to country school together – not too many can say so now-a-days. We are also both charter members of the Kansas Junior Hereford Association, which I helped get started back in the fall of 1957 – I was also the group’s first President – and then advisor for the next 10 years. We had heard that one man said back then, “Give them six months and they will fold up.” That’s why I kept encouraging them to strive to achieve. This fall will mark the 50th year for our KJHA organization. Yours Truly, Dwaine Waite, Winfield, KS Hi Jill & Byron, Just to let you know how much I like your magazine. I just have a few Herefords. I fell in love with them when I was 11 years old and if I live to be 111, I’ll still have them. My cattle friends tell me to change breeds but it goes in one ear and out the other. I’m just an old bull-headed (Hereford) Swede. David Lindbloom Verndale, MN *** Dear Jill and Marc, We just finished with the Minnesota State Fair. I had the privilege of working with and getting to know your new rep. for Hereford America, Malynda Carter. All of us in Minnesota were very impressed with her smiling personality and willingness to help. As far as I am concerned, you hired a good one with her talent of taking pictures, etc. I look forward to seeing her again, probably at the Gopher Sale in December. Dave Gottschalk Byron, MN Final Farewell... Jacob “Jake” Valek Jake Valek of Agenda, KS was killed Saturday, August 11, 2007 in a tragic car accident.

Butch was born May 3, 1944 in Holstein, to Harold and Harriet (Friedrichsen) Cowan. He lived in Galva until the age of three and spent the majority of his life on a farm west of Quimby. He attended school at Grand Meadow through his junior year of high school, and graduated in 1962 from Marcus High School. After high school, Cowan joined the U. S. Army and was a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division, stationed in Fort Campbell, Ky. He completed the U.S. Army infantry school Airborne Course in 1966 and was discharged in 1967. Butch married Monica Clow on June 14, 1971 at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Cherokee. Cowan was a long time cattleman and farmed west of Quimby for more than 40 years. He owned and operated the Cowan Cattle Company with his son, and they ran a herd of Shorthorn and commercial cows along with a small feedlot operation. He also raised Quarter horses, ran a flock of ewes, and spent some time in the hog business.

Butch loved the farm and everything that went with it, especially his Shorthorn cattle, horses and farming with his Allis-Chalmers Equipment. He enjoyed attending livestock events across the country, and had taken a special interest in driving horses. He had just purchased a new team this spring. Butch was glad to see his children and granddaughter carrying on the farming and cattle traditions that his family started. He was a member of the Washta United Methodist Church, the American Shorthorn Association, Cherokee County Cattleman's, and the Washta American Legion. He was preceded in death by his mother and father and his brother, Malcom "Mick" Cowan.

Melvin Micheel Melvin Micheel, 89 of Martin, SD passed away August 18, 2007. He was a part of the Hereford Pioneering legacy in the Sandhills having been involved with the cattle as he remembered since he was “5 years old.” His spirit, wisdom and wit were something he willingly shared with all those who came into his path. Born in Boyd County Nebraska, on May 26, 1918, Melvin Wilson was the 2 nd son of Carl A. & Ruth (Keller) Micheel. As a kid, Melvin said someone was always sticking him on a horse or a calf. One of the childhood memories, during the birth of Marthena, the preschoolers, Melvin and Dorothy turned up missing. Carl saddled a horse to search and found the two wanderers visiting the school of “the older kids.” They declared they had not gotten tired going so far because they had ridden their stick horses. As kids, the only broken bone report was the result of a tractorcrank “kicking” Melvin. He was driven over 40 miles of sandhill trails to the doctor in Ainsworth. The Micheels ranched mostly in Boyd and Cherry county Nebraska during the early years. From the Sunny Slope Ranch in the spring of 1941, Carl Micheel sold most of the herd totaling 10 carloads to a Texas outfit. Melvin went with the cattle from Valentine, Nebraska to Texas. The cattle were all unloaded once and half the cattle unloaded twice for feed and water before they got down to their Texas destination. While still in Texas, in September of 1941, Melvin’s draft number 32 caught at the farm (Square D sale barn) • Langbank, Saskatchewan Frozen exportable embryos from: JJZ 55K, Wilgor 174H KeyLine 29F 55K, JJZ 50R, Wilgor 55K Roxanne 5R, and sired by Remitall Super Duty 42S.

Melvin said he chose mechanic so they sent him to armament. He “came out after 4½ years, a tech sergeant, 3 up and 2 down.” His overseas tour was spent in England and Germany. What was left of our registered herd that I didn’t take to Texas came up here to South Dakota. Our first years after moving, we ran cattle for other people and pastured other people’s cattle to build this ranch. The Micheel herd may have numbered half dozen or so cattle at the start of the South Dakota ranch. Dad told me he was given 6 head of heifer cattle when he got married in 1910 when living on the Hornby place southeast of Valentine so he knew we could do it again. Melvin said, “I managed the paperwork and I knew every cow that every calf belonged to. I have always been able to match cows with their calf. I can tell you the cow’s number brand in her horn and I could read the number from the house to the barn.” The Lacreek Ranch of Carl Micheel and his two sons, Leon and Melvin became one of the best in the West as was told by America’s Herefordshire. Just like every one else when Dad saw all that water on this ranch he wanted the place. We started the move in April 1941 to South Dakota. I just don’t know for sure but I think Dad started raisin’ registered cattle about 1920. Some ranches are noted for their hay valleys, some for their pasture and others for their natural watering facilities or their scenery. The ranch is just west of Highway 73 which connects Merriman, Nebraska and Martin, South Dakota. Extending on both sides of and along Lacreek, which parallels the southern boundary line of South Dakota, the Micheel spread is credited with incorporating the finest alfalfa valley in Bennett County and without doubt, one of the best in the Sunshine State. Lacreek flows right out of the Sandhills. Springs scattered all around the valley pour their waters together, subirrigating a huge hay meadow in their passing, watering Hereford cattle in eight different pastures, dropping over a lovely waterfall and eventually ending up in Lacreek Wildlife Refuge. The Micheels owned this valley. Crystal clear water pours out the sand banks, some springs with a flow of 1,000 gallons per minute. There, all wrapped up in one ranch, is diversification at its best; typical, luscious sandhill pasture, hard grass pasture, alfalfa hay, high quality wild grass hay, alfalfa seed, a clear, shallow, solid-bottomed, non-flooding creek that seldom freezes and which flows thru the center of the ranch, excellent winter protection, and, to top that all off, several deep, blue, clear spring-fed trout and bass ponds.

(continued from page 8) The quality of the Micheel Ranch is well matched in quality by the fine Herefords that have been bred there. Carl Micheel was known for breeding top Herefords for many years and his sons carried on his legacy. In the words of Ed Belsky (brother-in-law to Carl) “Carl Micheel is one of the top cowmen of the region.” Ed should know, because a Hereford female from the Micheel herd helped establish the Belsky herd. To thoroughly review the history of the Micheel herd would require much more space than is allotted here. Carl Micheel entered the purebred Hereford business thru the purchase of the Samuelson herd of Kansas after it had passed into the capable hands of and had been further improved by Mr. Thompson, the father of Lester and Fred Thompson of present-day Hereford fame. In 1922, another contingent of cows, bred very similarly to the original herd, were secured from the Murphy herd of Cherry County, Nebraska. Both sets of cattle were of the finest Gudgel and Simpson bloodlines. The younger Murphy cattle had received an infusion of famous Jesse Engle Beau Blanchard AHA Board Candidates See pages 26-30 for AHA Board Candidate Information.

It is controlled chaos during the peak hours of each day but with everyone doing their job the “impossible is made possible.” What is special about this event and makes it successful? Good meat and the members of the South Dakota Hereford Association. DakotaFest is an annual fund-raiser event that takes a lot of work and planning but is well worth the effort, helping to provide funds for a Steer Futurity Show, Heifer Futurity Show, a Steer Special Show, a Heifer Special Show and a Steer Carcass Contest, all Herefords, during the South Dakota State Fair. June 30 was the last day for Jill and I as the SD Hereford Association managers. Our paper is consuming more and more of our time and we felt it was time for a change since we have been managers for the last 10 years. We will continue to be actively involved with SDHA as members and feel confident in the new managers, Mark and Linda Goetz of Egan, SD. I’m not partial but what a great association.

At Micheels only the very choice heifer calves go into the purebred herd. The second cut go into the top commercial herd and all others go to market. Micheel range bulls are in demand and have gone to some of the most particular buyers in this region. Lacreek Valley was originally an Indian Allotment owned by Seth Gerry. Leigh Fairhead, who homesteaded a quarter mile south, acquired the land. This is now owned by the Micheels. Fairhead’s homestead shack was skidded down into the valley and was built into a part of the Micheel’s spacious rambling home. The basement was set ready for the house. The house was pulled up on the south side using some planks across the foundation of pipe rollers for some support. The fella who was the boss told Melvin, “you run the winch.” Melvin couldn’t see anything, but “the fella would tell me, just move it a little at a time. I pulled this house over the foundation by his direction, a little at a time.” Melvin said, “I witched just one well. In the sandhills you can get a well any place. I think there were only 4 mills when we first came to the ranch, today the ranch has about 6 more for a total of 10.” In 1950, the first annual bull sale was held at the Micheel Ranch, selling 41 bulls for $25,375, an average of $619. Auctioneer was Charles Corkle. The Micheels had sales from 1950 thru the 60s for about 14 or 15 years. Each sale hosted 50-65 head of bulls, and as Melvin said, “We sold ‘em all at every sale. Some of the herd bulls were home raised.” Family and friends share the numerous Micheel memories and many were hired hands themselves on the ranch at one time or another. November 2006, Melvin sold the last of the Micheel herd. The Micheel Ranch recently was sold to John & Cathy Marcus. Cathy is the daughter of Dorothy Micheel Randall. Ruth Keller Micheel passed away in 1932; Carl A.

Ryan and crew of Topp Herefords held their first annual Cattlemen’s Conference and Pasture Female Sale Saturday, September 8th. There were over 150 commercial and purebred breeders that attended and the rainy conditions didn’t seem to dampen the spirits of those attending; in fact most of us were enjoying it after the last few weeks of unseasonably warm, dry weather. Topps had divided a lush pasture with an electric fence and had cows with their heifer calves in one half and the bull calves with their dams in the other half. Attendees could walk through the cattle or take one of the two covered golf carts that were handy to keep dry and evaluate the cattle. The heifer calves (or their dam for 25% more) were for sale that day by silent auction. Two dams were sold along with 14 heifer calves for an average of $5,036. Features speakers were Tom Bresnahan of Sinner Bros. & Bresnahan, Jack Ward of the AHA with a Hereford 101 session and Jim Williams of CHB with a CHB update. Ryan put a lot of thought and hard work into this event and I’m sure it paid off. Purebred producers interested in Ryan’s program and genetics took advantage of being able to go into the Topp herd and select a female that would complement or improve their own herd. Commercial and Purebred producers alike could also study the bull calves with their dams that will be offered in the annual February Bull sale held in Bismarck, ND. In my estimation seeing the dam should be a must for every prospective bull-buyer and Topps made it easy to do. Topp Herefords have worked hard in the last decade to improve their genetics and to also go a step further by providing their customers with a means to market the offspring. Ryan has an arrangement with Sinner Bros. & Bresnahan, a feedyard and marketing company at Casselton, North Dakota to further increase the value of Topps customer’s cattle. Ryan realizes the importance of listening to his customer’s needs, current beef industry demands and consumer expectations and then reacts by providing useful Hereford genetics and customer service that is hard to beat.

Photo by Lorrie Wacker, Plentywood, MT. Boyd and Jenni Dvorak from Lake Andes, SD celebrated their 10th anniversary while on the tour! Steers at Olsen Ranch, Harrisburg, NE. High Plains Tour... (continued from page 1) City, Kansas and Royal Beef Feeders of Scott City, Kansas. Each of the yards had a very different approach to the feeding aspect of the beef chain. One couldn’t go wrong by feeding at any one of these yards; you just had to pick the one that best suited your needs. The group was split up and toured the National and Cargill Beef Plants in Dodge City, Kansas. This portion of the tour was new to several, never having been in a beef plant. I think it made a lot of us appreciate the sector of the beef chain we were in and in not having to deal with the many management problems they deal with on a daily basis. I think the tour through the plants impressed on us the importance of food safety and the efforts they take to insure food safety. The tour group also viewed the damage caused by an EF-5 rated tornado in early May of this year in Greensburg, Kansas. The tornado was 1.7 miles wide and was on the ground for 22 miles non-stop and 30 minutes. Maximum winds were estimated at 205 mph. Eleven people were killed. You just can’t imagine the destruction caused to the small town by the tornado. Jack Ward, COO of the AHA, was also on the bus during much of the tour and presented to the group several projects currently being worked on by the AHA. He also answered many questions and discussed EPD’s – our current ones and possible new ones and how and why they are significant to our industry. It was the opinion of many on the tour that this should be done each year, keeping it to only one bus so that no part of the education would be missed by anyone. The hours were long but the mobile hands-on education is vital to our breed and should be shared with everyone. Jay and Jim, you missed your calling. You should have been tour guides. Thanks for the great tour. Studying the cattle were (left) Glenn Oleen, Falun, KS; Art Handel, Rapid City, SD; Mark Frederickson, Starbuck, MN; and Bob Harrell, Baker City, OR.

In fact normal Leptin can work against an animal’s ability to feed more efficiency and lay on fat. Cattle with the mutated gene tend to have slower metabolism and tend to eat more. The article went on to elude that over 40,000 head of feeder calves were tested in Canada this past year and some very large outfits were among the group. It was also reported that the cattle testing positive for the Leptin tt gene had a 3 cent lower cost of gain and finished two weeks sooner. Hereford cattle have already proven they are the most efficient of the breeds but this new test would yet add more profit to the picture. Get a copy of the quoted issue and study the whole article as it is a very new approach to further efficiency and it claims to pinpoint your individual herd bulls or cows that may be more efficient. The cost appears to be reasonable. I hope that you read the article on the front page of last month’s Hereford America about the Canadian approach to marketing Herefords in Canada. Gordon Stephenson, the General Manager of the Canadian Hereford Association and his staff and the PastPresident of the Canadian Hereford Association, Byron Templeton and his board of Directors have done a wonderful job of fitting together a plan to promote Hereford interest and sales, across Canada. The Canadian approach could well be used by the AHA to further the promotion of Herefords in the U.S. The approach that I really liked was the idea of visiting each sale barn and every rancher possible to promote the image of Herefords and to dispel the myths that seem to haunt us. Many years ago the AHA hired a person to work the commercial trade in the U.S. but the position was vacated after certain segments argued that the money should go to other sections of the budget. That was an ill-fated move and that position was never filled again. Some of our “reps” through the years did spend a lot of time on ranches, but those people are now gone and the practice is about vacated. I can remember Dwayne Dietz, who worked many years for the AHA, used to work a bull sale and then follow some of the bull buyers home and visit their operations. It was a great PR move and Dwayne would fit it into his schedule going down the road to the next sale. I really like the Canadian idea of not going near a breeder or a purebred sale and staying with the commercial sector, because they are the ones that ultimately keep us all in the business. We had better know what the commercial people are doing and thinking! Last week Pauline and I motored to Idaho to the commercial sale of Laverl Singleton, and wife, Patsie, which is held at the Idaho Falls Livestock Auction, each year. His entire crop of Hereford yearling steers and nonreplacement heifers are marketed in this fashion. I have gone to the sale for many years and Verl almost always tops the sale with cattle of his weight range. This year again Verl topped the yearling Singleton Steers selling in Idaho Falls. steers with his nice group of Hereford steers. Usually a local buyer buys them and they are fed in the local area. A different buyer bought them this year but they will be fed within a few miles of where they were sold. I was told they are usually sent to a Utah plant for slaughter. Verl is a very dedicated Hereford man who gets the job done well with his cattle. It was a long trip, but very enjoyable. The Hereford always sells better when the people at the auction barn will work with the seller. The folks at the Idaho Falls yards do work with Verl! I was saddened when Dale Sand announced his resignation as President of the Montana Hereford Assn. a short while ago and announced he was leaving the Hereford business. It was a big loss to us from a personal standpoint too, as we had worked with Dale for five years setting up a fine herd near Power, MT. Dale is young, in his 30s, energetic, honest, hard working, and strong as a bull. He loved Herefords and the Hereford people.

He was a big, rawboned, long armed guy, and as his wife worked in town, he didn’t get a whole lot to eat that he didn’t scrounge up himself. My little woman is from the old school, and it’s a cinch nobody leaves the place hungry. She always cooks about twice as much as she needs to, just in case somebody like ol’ Bob happens in the yard about meal time. She came out and hollers, “Get washed up. It’s almost ready.” Getting him to stay for dinner didn’t take much arm twistin’, because I’m pretty sure he hadn’t had a square meal for a week or so. I don’t think he’d ever been inside our house before, and in her usual style, the cook sets the table like she was expecting a thrashin’ crew. She had a big www.herefordamerica.com • 25 roast beef and mashed potatoes and all the trimmings. Now I’m tellin’ you that boy could eat. He kind of reminded me of a half starved coyote that happens on to a dead cow and tries to finish her off in one meal. ‘Course the cook was in her height in glory, and ever’ time ol’ Bob’s plate would start getting a little low she’d start the stuff around again. He’d just pile the grub on, and tell her how great it was, and she’d wiggle like a little puppy and pass him something else. I didn’t think he was ever going to get filled up. The last time the meat and taters went around, with a little extra encouragement from the cook, he almost took more than he could eat. As Granny used to say, “His eyes durn near got too big for his belly.” He’d had a good fetchin’ up, and was as long on manners as he was on appetite, so he wasn’t about to leave anything. He just HAD to clean up his plate. The ol’ boy had quite a struggle, and it took him a while, but he finally got around the last of it. I’m sure he must have felt just like that ol’ coyote when the cow was all gone. He was just plain miserable. We’d had quite a visit during dinner, and hadn’t even noticed that the little woman had whipped up a batch of chocolate chip cookies while we were eatin’. She’s always bustling around in the kitchen doin’ something. She opens the oven, and flips four or five nice fresh hot ones on Bob’s plate, but for some reason the sight of food just didn’t seem to have the same appeal to him that it did a half an hour earlier. He was too polite to tell her he was about to bust and couldn’t hold another bite, even though she didn’t even give him a chance to pass. That’s when he hatched this plan. He’d just take a couple of little nibbles, and slip the cookies in his pocket when no one was lookin’. He wouldn’t offend the cook, and he’d have a little something to snack on later. It was a pretty good idea, and it would have worked if it hadn’t been for one of the kids. One of our little rug rats was still short enough to walk right under the kitchen table, and was just walkin’ and talkin’ good. He comes around a corner, stops right in the middle of the floor, points at our guest, and says in a shrill two year old voice, “Hey, look! Bob Crowe is puttin’ cookies in his pocket!” Needless to say he was nearly embarrassed to tears, and carried the handle “Cookie Stealin’ Crowe” ‘til the day he died.
