The stories in this book tell of the hardest cattle to gather and the ways used to do it. In almost every instance, with poor management, a certain percentage of cattle will revert to the wild. They love their freedom and will, in many cases, fight to the death to keep it. This work is not for the weak-hearted. A lot of good cowboys aren't up to the task. Many times owners or cowboys are frustrated in their attempts to gather these renegades. So they resort to shooting them. These cattle usually live in the wildest most hardest to reach areas. There a couple of essays in this book dealing with a good horse or a man dealing with bad weather. I hope you all enjoy these stories. Dennis Williams is a third generation Arizonan. He has spent his life from an early age in agriculture. His main focus has been cattle, first in feedlots, ranches and even a fourteen month stint in a large meat packing plant. Along the way, Dennis has been a active roper in rodeos and jackpot competitions. He's been a finalist in the international feedlot team roping finals, first in Las Vegas, then Elko Nevada. In 2012 he started writing, first in memoirs of forty years in the cattle business, then moving on to cowboy fiction. Most of his work has been an enjoyable pastime. Since he retired from rodeoing, he has started producing the 'REX ALLEN DAYS RODEO' in Rex s home town of Willcox AZ. Rex was Dennis' hero and from early childhood, he has always wanted to be an Arizona cowboy.
