Handy Devices

Jim Davis, Lexington, North Carolina, came up with a simple way to handle notes and free up a hand. While working cattle, he uses a wrist band with a plastic window cover to hold notes. The notes are used while sorting cattle -- for example, sorting cow/calf pairs to be separated from the rest of the herd. The wrist band frees up a hand, and the plastic cover protects the notes from wind, rain or dust.
