For Ryan--Chicks and elephants

This is ToTo above who we were talking about the other day. Good looking boy huh. Below is Rex Williams Reed. Darryl Atkinson will have to tell us who the other boy is.

Story time... :)
How old were all the boys when they were together? Did they all go on the road continuously, or were some becoming "unmanagable?" Any breeders in the group (besides Rex of course)? Any knock-down, drag-out bull fights?
And yes Wade, they are both pretty, in their own unique ways. I definitely don't feel the same kind of love for each.

Ryan,
In 81 they were all together on the picket line. Fights!!!! With Gyp the Hammer in the ring, the boy's were afraid to look at each other cross ways. Best behaved group of elephants I have been around. Except Gyp, she was a pistol.

Darryl,
He only had one Reed, in 81. Did he change the name? He did that once or twice a week. LOL I recognized the elephant on the right.

Radar,
There you go Reed 1 and Reed 2. That should be easy to keep track off. :)

Reeds 1 & 2 were both acquired by Paul Kelly. I think Reed 2 was the 8 year old male acquired in summer 1976. Reed 1 was put down around April 1977.

I would like to get in touch with Darryl about more of the herd's history.
