Was Irene already purchased at the beginning of the season and she remained on Great American until the end, or was she purchased separately from the rest of the Great American herd that Gopher acquired?<br /><br />Who handled the herd that you replaced?Ryan Easleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171719315020164074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124946123600699497.post-7431631128255099642011-07-01T11:58:21.987-04:002011-07-01T11:58:21.987-04:00Tim Davidson picked Irene up and drove her to King...Tim Davidson picked Irene up and drove her to King Royal Circus summer of 1994. She was a power house of an elephant. Great in harness and for pushing equipment. Did front/hind leg walks. We would only have her take four steps when she did her hind leg walk. Just enough to show the behavior. When we took over the herd in 1995 the guys that handled the elephants told me Irene could take 35 steps mike swainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741615315135277175noreply@blogger.com
