When Ron Querry left his job teaching English at the University of Oklahoma, he took up ranching, armed with a Ph.D. and a pair of tender feet. This is his account of his ranching career in New Mexico, in the course of which he married the beautiful lady rancher next door and learned the 24 hour a day job of dealing with a herd of stubborn cattle as well as assorted horses, dogs, cats, tumbleweeds, rattlesnakes, and neighbors.
