Wild Cow Tales
( In thirteen stories full of rope burns and brush scratc...)
In thirteen stories full of rope burns and brush scratches, the author of the classic Horse Tradin’ tells of the days when he made a specialty of catching wild cows. Ben K. Green calls himself a “stove-up old cowboy,” and readers of this book will learn soon enough where the broken bones came from. Green tells of his adventures with wild steers, sharing with readers the years he worked in thorny brush and canyon country delivering those animals that were too wily or too wild for the normal roundup. Finding them was hard, even dangerous, work. Few cowboys looked for such chores. Green declares, “I got real good at it, but of course in those days I didn’t know any better.”

Edit ProfileCareer
His books consist of anecdotes drawn from his own experiences in the Southwestern United States. The common trading practice-- "cheat or be cheated"—is reflected in his stories, told using the language and humor of the area and not excluding himself from either outcome. lieutenant is often said that he studied at Cornell University and in England but Cornell University has no record of this, and he did not ever become a certified or licensed doctor of veterinary medicine according to records from the Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners.
He was persuaded to settle in Fort Stockton, Texas and practiced in the entire Transport-Pecos Region.
A large part of his work involved identifying plants which grew in that alkali soil and contained substances poisonous to horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs (lechuguilla, yellowweed, pinguey, locoweed).
