A Cowboy's Life

After high school, Rufus ran away to Oklahoma. His first job had him delivering oxygen to old smokers. After that, he went to work on ranches and feedlots,. preg-testing, feeding cake, and trapping wild pigs for the organic food business. He liked teaching Grant the saddle bum ways as they disappeared. The bed of his truck filled with barbed wire rolls, steel posts, clips, stays, a worn-out sunflower stretcher, sucker rods, and an auger. Everything you'd need for rural shit work and very little of what a cowboy might require.
