The story of the neophyte cowboy.

Several direct connects later, the pasture was filled with family members, each with rope and soap and light. Cowboys we ain’t! We herded that cow ‘round and ‘round that pasture. She eluded every toss of the lasso. Finally the loop went around that cow’s neck. Three of us held tight as that heifer dragged us around. Someone finally lassoed her legs, and with many great tugs, she finally succumbed to the ground. I was then instructed to “soap up.” I found out that liquid soap acts as a lubricant for hands and arms while pulling a calf from a womb. Nasty just doesn’t seem to describe the moment.
