well this is what mr ben told me. he was born in 31 , he married the youngest of 6 sisters from a well to do family . the older girls when married were given so many acres so many cows, hogs mules etc etc. by the time they got married times were tight mr. jordan and his wife got 250 sows and a pair of cur dogs. ( he said he had to work for his ha ha )
he gathered hogs by driving them to pens just like cattle until the 60 s when he said they started getting too much russian in em. he was a prca pickup man for years. he still has alot of dogs, in his mid 70 s he runs cattle on 62 square miles of land and does about all the work himself.
when my buddy was there lookin at dogs they bayed up a group of cattle, mr ben pointed at a cow and said " i aint seen that cow in 2 years, i thought she was dead" lol . his dogs for the most part are not as rough and are not as big and pretty as the wright bred dogs, but they will hunt and they will stay bayed.
at blackmouthcur.com is a good article about the origin of the cur
