“When are you gonna come get your bull? He’s tramplin’ our cotton plants and almost lives in our alfalfa.” Charlie Clouse didn’t sound angry, just a little frustrated.

“I’d be happy to, but what are you talking about, Charlie?” I said into the phone. Charlie owned a farm down on the Gila River across from Lazy B.

“One of your bulls has been jumping the fence,” he said.

This was news to me. Apparently, for the past year, this bull would hightail it over the fence and maraud through the fields, crushing cotton plants, feasting on alfalfa, and making a general mess of things. Charlie would run him into the thickets by the river, where he would hide until Charlie disappeared. Then the naughty guy would jump the fence again and the cycle would repeat.

“Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner? I would have come and gotten him.” I felt a prickle of irritation. I could already tell this bull had taught himself well. He had the upper hand and was working the system. Now we’d have to retrain him, if that was even possible. Charlie wanted to know how we were going to get him. “Will you rope him if you have to? Because that’s one big sucker of a bull.”

“Yeah, Charlie, if I need to rope him, I will.” I didn’t particularly want to rope a full-grown bull, but if that was the only way to gather him, I would do it. Shooting him wasn’t an option.

“Then tell me when you’re gonna do it cuz I’ll stay home from work. I want to see this one.”

Oh good grief. What were we running, a rodeo? “Stay home tomorrow, Charlie, and we’ll come get that bull.”
