LEFT & ABOVE:  Sheep bells found at Cow Creek headquarters.  Notice the different shapes.  The round bell (R upper corner) was used when standard bells were not available.  Loaned by the Rochefort family.
ABOVE:  Sheep shears before the advent of modern electric clippers.  Thousands of sheep were sheared each season with only these hand operated clippers.
LEFT: The ore collection of mom's "Aunt Etta" McCarger. Aunt Etta was originally married to Harold Spragg (brother to Minnie Pearl Hartt and manager of Cow Creek Sheep).  Aunt Etta was also sisters to teacher Edna Trullinger.  Many different types of ore from the region are in the display.
