      A Cow in Time - C. Forrest Lundin

      Chapter One

      If he made it through this alive, Zeb swore he would never eat beef again. And he planned to let the old biddy bovine live out her days on his place in peace until she died of old age.

      The horse? Well, that might be another story. Although he didn’t really blame it for shying at the snake it nearly stepped on. But kicking him in the leg and running off after he shot the damn snake? That might get it sold to some miner for a pack animal. All retribution hinged on getting back to the homestead.

      There again, he had to depend on one flighty damn animal with barely a lick of sense. If the horse went home, his hand would find the miserable gelding and come looking for him. Which might be the sticky spot. Not to mention he had no idea how long the snow would hold off.

      Eastern Oregon wasn’t known for mild winters. He had been pushing it by waiting as long as he did to go collect the damn cow. A milk cow he had planned to give to Amelia as a wedding present.

      With a sigh, he leaned back against the boulder behind him. Amelia would be worried sick. She told him to take the mare. But she carried a foal, one he pinned a bunch of hopes on. Instead of heeding her words, he took a young gelding, one he knew to be impulsive.

      He was stuck with an injured leg, a milk cow and on the wrong side of the Grande Ronde River. The only piece of luck he got came when the horse did a sunfish and the contents of his pack hit the dirt.

      Puffing and panting he crawled around, retrieving what he could. He could make a fire. And heat water if there was any close by, which wasn’t the case. What he did have was a milk cow, a producing one. And it looked like he might be drinking a lot of milk.

      Dented and with the top of the handle broken off, the damage to the coffee pot rendered it useless for anything but holding milk. Now how in the name of God would he manage to milk the cow.

      When he bought the cow, Zeb insisted that it be a gentle one. Amelia weighed no more than a couple of sacks of grain. He hadn’t
