The man called Beef strides up to Daniel and, bold as anything, shakes his hand, acting as if nothing has ever happened between them.

“Doc,” he addresses him in a nasal voice. “Thought you were coming yesterday! Had them cows all penned up and you never showed. Let them loose for the night. They’re all up at the back forty now.”

“I told your brother, today, November 17. I was clear on that.”

“Well, no matter.” The older brother tries to smooth things out. “You’re here now. Let’s round them back up and get to work.”

“Who’s the skirt?” Beef jerks his head my way.

Daniel tightens his jaw. “Miss Myers. Nurse Becky Myers. She’s going to write down the numbers while I do the testing. Dr. Blum can hold the cattles’ heads.”

“Yeah, and I get the butt-end where I can get kicked. Sounds fair.”

Isaac steps forward and folds his arms across his chest. I almost laugh, wondering if he makes the tough pose on purpose or if it’s just by accident.
