Years ago when I was 23, I learned (the hard way) to have a very healthy respect for Cattle, they're totally unpredictable. I had gone out with an older male friend to see a mutual friend who was a Cattle Rancher. The Rancher friend had just done his "annual roundup" of his open-range cattle and it was branding & castrating time. Since I had been raised as a "City kid" this was something that I had never seen before, and I was interested. I was in the corral talking to my Rancher friend, and one of the cowhands had roped a yearling Bull and was dragging it into the corral. Without any warning the Bull lunged at the cowhands horse, as the horse sidestepped away the rope went slack and the Bull made an abrupt 90 degree turn, took about 6 long strides and nailed ME right in the chest. Cowhands got another rope on him, wrestled him to the ground, and tied his feet. While I caught my breath, picked myself up off the ground & dusted myself off, they branded him. I "GOT EVEN", one of the cowhands called me over to the Bull and taught me how to Castrate the Bull. After all of the branding & castrating was done we cooked all of the testicles. First time I had ever eaten "Mountain Oysters", even got to eat the ones from "MY" Bull (they were delicious). The ultimate payback! LOL.
To this day the lower half of my left ribcage is still stove in from where that Bull hit me.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
