This story was very interesting. I enjoyed getting a sense of the guy's everyday life, instead of him going on some long drawn out journey and overcoming his fate or something. It is a fairly simple story, and thats what I like about it.
I found it funny when he was talking about the calves and heifers and how the whole point in a cow is to turn itself into meat as fast as it can so somebody can eat it.
When he was talking about how he got hit in the face with a rock from the manure spreader and he ran the rig into the irrigation system. All that was rather funny.
I think its interesting how the guy never calls the old man by his name, he just calls him the "old sumbitch"
Overall, the story was really good. I think it was interesting how in the end the guy just rode off instead of stickin around. It was what you would imagine a cowboy doing.
