Bryce Angell – The outdoors has always been a large part of my life. My father was an outfitter and guide for 35 years and I was there to shoe and care for the horses and help him do the cooking. We took many great trips into the Yellowstone area. Even now that I\u2019m older, we still ride into the Tetons, Yellowstone and surrounding areas. My poems are mostly of personal experience. I am now retired and enjoying life to the fullest. I plan to do more riding and writing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jackson Palmer raised his hand and breathed a loud exhale. He was bidding on a young bull at the Angus Farms bull sale.<\/p>\n

The auctioneer said, \u201cTake him.\u201d Jackson outbid all the rest. His good wife Jana hugged him. Said, \u201dLet\u2019s put him to the test.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bull sale was a grand success. Served prime rib for the meal. With bellies full the Palmers loaded up their bull sale deal.<\/p>\n

Jackson drove on home while Jana figured out the books. She said, \u201cThe price was fair. Let\u2019s see how all his offspring looks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gabby was the youngest of the Palmer family. She said, \u201cLet\u2019s name him Chubby. He looks overweight to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, Chubby he was given and forget his purebred name. He was \u2018bout to start his legacy, one for the books of fame.<\/p>\n

They drove on through the pasture, backed up to the cattle gate. Then turned their prize bull out to an expected happy fate.<\/p>\n

The Palmers stood astonished, every face with raised eyebrows. \u2018Cuz Chubby didn\u2019t show an interest in the Angus cows.<\/p>\n

They had to wonder was he sick or just a bull\u2019s off day? In all their years they\u2019d never seen a bull who\u2019d act that way.<\/p>\n

Jana called ol\u2019 Sam, the vet. Said, \u201cWe could use you here. Maybe you can show us how to get our bull in gear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Sam checked out their Chubby. Said, \u201cHe\u2019s eatin\u2019, drinkin\u2019 fine. Bring an older cow who looks like she\u2019s on borrowed time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson found an older cow. She\u2019d been open for a while. Soon Chubby gained his courage. Said Sam, \u201cI saw him smile.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next day the vet was musing \u2018bout what happened in the corral. And how the bull passed by the young cows for an older gal.<\/p>\n

Ol\u2019 Sam in all his shameless smile said, \u201cNext time try this trick. Gussy up the young cows with some old-gal red lipstick.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
