I only had one take me when I had cattle, and I got lucky- she just pinned me to the ground with her face, didn't dance on me or anything, then seemed to think better of it and walked away when she saw that her calf was safe.

What could possibly go wrong?), but he had hired about a half dozen cowboys on horseback to do the round up, and I just worked the chutes. Sure wasn't sorry to see that wild-eyed bunch head down the cut, and was thankful for his sturdy corral set up.

Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
