What a fascinating story. The number of unheard cowboy stories must be too high to count

There are a lot of them out there. A good number have been written down and collected in a number of volumes.

But, it wasn't a steer! It was a yearling bull. They turned it loose and no one castrated it.

Good point and good catch. I’ll make the change.

Mr granny had cousins who lived in Ft. Davis. Granny was 5th generation native. McCasland stock in Taylor county. Makes me 7th generation native. I was raised in West Texas and have loved the trans-Pecos region all my life. It's harsh but beautiful. A man can enjoy solitude there. I have a few old stories. Wish I had heard more.
