Of Wolves And Men
“Sixty horses, three managers, and ten wranglers were under his supervision.
Even in early November, dry dust stirred up behind his tires as he stopped, hopping out.
During the day the temperatures weren’t that bad. Lately they were between forty and fifty. At night it was beginning to hit freezing. Some nights near the teens.
His truck bed and trailer were loaded up with hay and oats. “Butch! JP! Goat! Git yer asses over here.” Charlie took off his cowboy hat and whacked it against his jeans, s...ending up more dusty plumes. He had on a heavily-lined sheepskin leather jacket, which kept him warm all winter, along with his snakeskin boots.
Butch Crowell and JP Martin jogged over to help unload the trailer, with the third of their number struggling to keep up.
“Come on, Goat. Give it some effort.” Charlie gave Hal ‘Goat’ Groates and shake of the head.
Without having to say another word, the three men began transferring the bales of hay and bags of oats to the stable. The daytime wranglers had arrived and were cleaning out the barn.MoreLess
