Cat In The Night, by Cat Ichi, has earned more than $50,000, including his $9,029 winnings in the Arbuckle Futurity, in open and non-pro limited age events, all under Helm, who owns and operates a custom pre-conditioning cattle yard in Nowata, Okla. with her husband Bill, an amateur competitor and Arbuckle Futurity Amateur champion, with 218 points, on Boons Playin, by Mr Boonsmal To You.

“We run the yard ourselves, in grass traps,” said Dianna. “Working with cattle has helped me in cutting, and cutting has helped me with getting sick calves removed from the group to get them treated. Our yard has drive lanes everywhere, so you learn what cattle want to do and it helps you (in cutting).”

Helm also owns 6-year-old EE Ichi Bar, by Cat Ichi, who has earned over $95,000 with her and Bill, and trainer Tommy Marvin.

Ashley Snider and Sly Chance, by That Sly Cat won the Arbuckle Non-Pro Classic with 224 points, while Kyle Manion and Hot Pipes, by Dual Rey, placed second with 220 points.
