Cow Girl Morning
Cowgirl Morning
Bryn Fleming
Caring for the cows on a ranch is a hard job for Pa and his two daughters. In this excerpt, Pa awakens his daughters, Fran and Cassie, to help round up his neighbor's buffaloes. In the end, one daughter must also confront Cyrus, a fierce and dangerous bull.
1 BANG! BANG! BANG! I jerked awake to Pa pounding on our door.
2 "Daly's buffaloes broke the fence. We have to get them out of the alfalfa!" he shouted.
3 Fran was on her feet in an instant. Pulling her jeans on under her nightgown, she stepped into the hall. "Can't we do it, just us, Pa? Cassie will only be in the way."
4 "Both of you," Pa said as he hurried for the back door. "We need all hands."
5 Me, I've never liked being yanked out of a hard sleep and a good dream. I heard buffaloes through my sleep-haze and scrunched lower under the covers, remembering Cyrus's chuffing breath on my neck and the creaking whine of fence planks. I grumped and groaned when Fran pulled the quilt off me and slapped my feet.
6 "Let's go, Cassie. Pa needs us quick." Fran jerked on her boots and slapped my feet again as she raced out of the room.
7 I pulled yesterday's jeans from the pile of clothes by my bed, shrugged into a T-shirt, and grabbed my hat off the bedpost. Pa had a pan of cold biscuits and a dish of butter on the table. I gobbled one as I ran for the barn.
8 Fran was drawing up Pet's cinch1 in the stable yard. Stars were fading in the east as the sky lightened over the Blue Mountains. The autumn air smelled of sage and juniper scrub. My lungs sucked it in like cold water.
9 Rowdy, my paint pony, stamped in his stall and nickered2 after Pet. The early morning darkness and close scent of musky buffaloes set him on edge, but I talked him into standing quiet and slipped the bit in his mouth. He pranced and high-stepped as I led him out of his stall to saddle him.
10 Up ahead Pa was edging his mare around the wide gate to the open pasture. Fran and Pet followed. I leaned out and hooked the gate closed behind us, something Rowdy and I had been working on. I patted his neck. "Atta boy, let's go get those buffs." There was a shakiness in my voice, but I squeezed Rowdy into a lope 3 to catch up.
1cinch: a band or strap used to tighten the saddle on a horse
2nickered: the soft neighing sound a horse makes
11 "Looks like half the herd is in here," Pa shouted. "Big piece of the north fence is down." We stood a minute on the rise between the hayfield and the house. Thirty or forty buffaloes spread out in the tall grass.
12 "There's Cyrus. Watch him." Pa pointed to a huge, dark shape shifting like a hill in an earthquake. "I'll pick him up and head him back through," Pa said. "Some of the cows should follow. Fran, take the right." He ran his gaze over the herd again. "Cassie, hang back. Move any stragglers up toward Fran. And stay away from Cyrus." He didn't need to tell me twice.
13 Fran loped off, whooping and chasing the cow buffs toward the hole in the far fence. Rowdy and I crisscrossed the field after strays. "Hut! Hut! Hut!" I called as I swung the end of my rope at a cow's flank. Fran shot me a look. "Get after those buffs, Cassie. You're not inviting them to a party!" I hollered louder and swung my rope harder. On the other side of the field, Pa had Cyrus headed back toward the broken fence.
14 Seems like I looked away toward a hawk screech for only a second when I heard Pa's mare whinny sharply. I snapped my head around quick. She was rearing up in high alarm and stepping backward. Pa wasn't in the saddle.
15 Cyrus pawed the dirt in front of the mare, swinging his big woolly head from side to side, his horns low to the ground. The mare spun off and stood stiff-legged. Pa sat in the dirt with one leg stretched out in front of him. Cyrus flared his nostrils, sucking in Pa's scent.
16 In my mind I heard a plank fence splinter and smelled Cyrus's angry stink. I shivered, but there really was no choice. I kicked Rowdy and laid the reins across his neck. Rowdy jumped to it as Cyrus scraped the dirt powerfully with his sharp hooves and charged.
17 For such cumbersome-looking beasts, buffs can move real fast. I leaned forward in the saddle, racing Rowdy across the field toward Pa, hoping we'd be in time to head off the enraged bull. As Cyrus closed in, I shouted and waved my hat frantically. Cyrus jerked his head toward us and turned as Pa rolled out of his way.
3lope: relaxed stride of a horse
18 Rowdy stopped on a dime, like he faced a mad buffalo bull every day. We dodged in close, and I leaned out and slapped Cyrus's rump with my hat while Rowdy danced out of reach of his horns. Cyrus left Pa in a whirl of dust and pounded after us.
19 My hat flew off as Rowdy sprinted over the field. We cut a sharp right at the broken fence, and Cyrus plunged through the gap. A dozen cows streamed after him with Fran at their rear. She let out a whoop and flashed me a grin. We'd done it!
20 As I rode back, Pa was trying to get his feet under him. His jaw was clenched tight, and his eyes were narrowed. "Good work, Cass," he said. His voice shook, and he held his leg with both hands. I swung down next to him.
21 He stood crooked on one leg, leaning hard on my shoulder. I stood about a foot shorter than Pa, but I felt strong and tall with him leaning on me like that.
