I thought she looked like she needed milking. This is a lovely story and good picture. Some city folks won't know the difference. You wrote about this well. Enjoy the week. Karen

Humph. I know some guys who if that beef should show up in that yard, there would soon be a major barbecue session underway. You wind up in my yard, you just became a hot menu item. That is their attitude towards beef and or pork. LOL.

LOL Thank you for the kind review. I didn't get close enough to check, but he probably had a brand.

It was probably a wiser move to keep your distance. Those horns are no joke.

Hi Barbara,
I don't understand why it would be legal to allow live stock to wander around the countryside. Does that mean that if it's in your yard you can shoot it? We have moose passing through our front yard every year. A few weeks ago we had a large bull and a cow move through. They always leave hoof prints in the grass, and the urine from the females is toxic to the lawn. Not much I can do about that though. Thanks for sharing this gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Not if it has a brand. Texas is an open range state, it goes way back in our history. Thank you for the kind review.

Thank you for the kind review. Yes, long horns are cow, in this case it was actually a steer.
Comment from Esther Brown
That was very cute. I will have to check for other stories about your family. The dialog was the perfect way to relate the story. Reminiscing is a good name for a book of memories. Well done. Esther

I can imagine how different Texas and the city must be. In the UK there is a vast difference between the countryside and London, there definitely isn't as many transport connections in the countryside in the UK. I have cousins who live out in New Mexico, which I believe is the next state to Texas, who I found while researching my family history and have remained in touch with. I definitely want to go out there and meet them at some point. An excellent piece, Barbara.

Well, he might have been a city boy, but he did know the difference between a deer and a steer. It was certainly an unexpected site at your place on the top of a steep hill. Well written.

Well, the only thing I saw in the gardens close to the mountains are dears, mountain goats, rabbits and I heard about some bears and wolves. Nice story. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Poor Steven! His mama definitely underestimated his animal recognition ability, city boy or not! Nope, even I wouldn't mistake that for a deer! Fun story.
