Description: They were all good hands, the kind of cowboys-or buckaroos-that ì could work on any cow outfit. They didn't all arrive together, ì they just sorta drifted in, one at a time.

Tom hired them on in January to help with the calving, even ì though it was early. There wasn't much riding to do, just go ì through the cattle each day looking for something that might be ì wrong. The cows weren't supposed to start calving until the ì middle of February.

The ranch already had a cook, a grizzled old timer. He was a ì pretty good cook and quite proud of his sourdough bread and ì biscuits. He talked a lot, mostly to the items he was cooking ì up.

The most surprising hand to show up was of the female ì persuasion. Michelle, nicknamed Mike, said, "I have my own ì bedroll and my own tent. I can ride as good as any man and can ì rope better than most. I know cattle and horses, being raised on ì a ranch."

When Mike had finished telling Tom about herself, he said, "I ì guess we could give you a try. I don't know how the other hands ì will react to havin' a woman in camp. But we'll give you a try. ì If you work out, you've got a job. If not, I'll bring you ì back.
