"Who's got the bulls on this show?" #1


I can't pinpoint this year or identify the "Capt." on the horse. They are exercizing the herd by marching around the Rochester, Ind. quarters.
I don't see the big African "Safari" and the male at right "George" looks a lot bigger then when he came to the show from Hall's place in 1935 so I would guess that would make it about1938 with Alonzo Dever in charge but it doesn't look like him to me.

Was "Joe"with the Cole Bros. herd here?
He later had to be executed in Douglas Arizona in the early 1940's.He was the last male elephant with that show.

I think that building at one time use to be a shoe factory.

Yes, Joe was included in the herd bought from 101 Ranch when the Cole Show was framed in 1935.
"Babe", "Carrie", "Louie", "Jean" and "Joe" they were always called the "Ranch Herd"
Joe killed Ted White while being unchained in the car 10/29/43. He was later shot while still in the car.
