Ryan Easley said...: Mr. Herriott,
Which six were those?; 29 May, 2012 08:10
John Herriott said...: Hoxie bought three bottle babies Janet, Stacy and Kelly. Kenny Ickert took care of them for about a season and then Rex trained on them during a couple seasons with Hoxie. He then bought two African babies, namely Hoxie and Betty plus a little female named Irene. I put those six together in an act and Irene was undernourish in poor health and died during the Penn. floods that year. I left at seasons end and African Betty died in wntqtrs. Hoxie would buy a female asian and named her Betty and another named Irene. Later I came back and trained those two.; 29 May, 2012 09:13
