A steer, though we call him a bull.

Your narrator is at the country home of her childhood best friend, who moved to an old horse ranch outside Dallas after tornado (not a metaphor) hit her home. Our early-morning ramble includes: An adolescence of grazing shopping malls, the recession-proof job of veterinary medicine, city kids turned country kids, a bull versus a steer, goats in trees, and how animals manage to answer their primal drives even when the terrain has changed.

Eighth-grade besties, Sarah and Jenn

All the secrets for paid subscribers.
