Man Without a Star Page #4

Now that's two bucks you owe me.

Hey, wrong man, Texas.

Abut them cattle, you'll find them

scattered all over the low ground.

Tomorrow drift them over toward

Blue Lake, it's over this way.

We don't want to meet

in over Cassidy's grass.

Cassidy's grass.

I thought this is open range.

It is. But we like

to keep it friendly.

Hey ya.

Could we get to see it?

Come on.

You better stay here.

Ah, ah.

On the paper.

In there.

There's another door there

that goes to the bedroom.

That's right handy.

So now you've seen it, satisfied?

Now, I don't want to

see the man that uses it.

Hey Tex, bring that

old gal down here.

No running Tex, took a lot of

good grass to make that beef.

Mostly, if you let the

horse alone, he'll do it right.

Make up your rope,

could be you want to use it.

When do I get use it?

- Soon as we spot a maverick.

- A what?

A maverick,

a calf with no mother.

- No brand either.

- Why not?

One in the county was

misted around at that time,

outgrew its mother and wandered off.

Sort of like you.

That's better,

Hey there, come on.

Hey Demp!

Cassidy's place, I guess.

- Then maybe we can stop by and eat.

- Think they'll feed us?

- Man, am I hungry.

- You're the hungriest fella I know!

Never step down till you're asked.

Howdy, driftin' a

few toward Blue Lake.

- Didn't mean to butt in.

- Glad to have you stop by.

Step down and visit.

Hey, Tess!

- That's my kid.

- Yeah, real pretty.

Come here and say

howdy to the folks.

This is Dempsey Rae, honey.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

Say, never seen anyone

handle a two year old any better.

Thanks, usually I don't work broncs,

but we're a little short handed.

This here is the ropin' kid.

- I'm Jeff Jimson.

- Pleased to meet you.

I'd better get

some food on the table.

Make yourself at home,

Brick and me will be back directly.

Thank you.

- Could be she likes you.

- Who likes me?

- Tess.

- Aaahh.

Yeah, she got real embarrassed

when you caught her in her pants.

She is just a kid.

Strap tells me you're running as

high as 15% on your winter loss.

- That's heavy, isn't it?

- Too heavy.

What with overgrazing on the range,

we gotta cut our losses or go broke.

Now, Toliver thinks

he's got a way to do it.

How's that.

Winter feed. We've got good grass

down here in the river bottom

that we can cut to stack,

and feed through the heavy snow.

I was trying we gonna

winter feed 10,000 heads.

We ain't got 10,000 heads.

And we cut enough grass for our few.

How you gonna the cattles

off to you to get ready to cut?

Toliver has got that figured, in fact

he had the answer with him last night.

Ever see any of this?

Yes, I've seen it.
