Come along with Reata, Annie and Stoney as we move the cattle to fresh pasture. There is plenty of action packed in this video, with run away cattle, a run away dog, and more. Not everything goes perfect, but we had fun, and we got the job done!

Moving the cattle is not always as simple as opening a gate to the next pasture. For this move we have to cross through intersecting pastures, gates, and roads. There is only one right way for the cattle to go to get there, and it is up to us to guide them.

Stoney is a 15 month old Registered Hangin Tree Cowdog, and Reata and Annie are both Supreme Qualified Hangin Tree Cowdogs. David Dagley has been training them to help gather and move cattle, and they are turning out to be exceptional ranch hands!

Dagley’s Stoney, was 22 months old when he won the title HTCA 2021 Supreme Reserve Champion!

The Supreme class is only for Supreme Qualified Hangin Tree Cowdogs. David and Stoney were able to complete the Supreme Course in front of the judges at the qualifier the day before the 2021 HTCA Futurity, upgrading Stoney’s registration to Supreme Qualified and making him eligible to compete in the Supreme Class.

The Supreme class can be quite the challenge as it starts with a “blind fetch”.

We are so proud of Stoney, he had a perfect score all three days, and only came in second because his time was slower than the Supreme Champion.

Dagley’s Stoney is a Supreme Qualified Hangin Tree Cowdog out of Trayer’s Savage Sam and Trayers’ Marti. Stoney was handled and owned by David Dagley.

Stoney Getting Respect from a Pair

We were moving this cow and her calf through the corral to work them and then turn them back out to pasture.
Because the cow was a little bit lame and had a calf, she thought she’d rather stand and fight instead of moving off the dog.
We try to use pressure and release to teach the cow to move off the dog.
Most important part is to ease off the pressure when the cow is going the right way.
