Cattle Call: A Marshall Family Western - Book 10

Heavy snows in January, combined with temperatures dipping into the minus fifties killed off thousands of cattle. In some open areas, some estimated that 90% of the cattle died. Rivers and streams were fouled by rotting carcasses, and many ranchers sold off what remained of their herds.

On the Southern Plains, an extended drought also wiped out many cattle.

Books nine and ten, in the Marshall Family Western Series, take place against this backdrop.

With cattle prices at rock bottom, Judith thinks it’s time to invest every dollar she has into young heifers.

If the rains come, she could make a killing.

Gus also sees the wisdom in buying cattle, but first, he wants to go home and explain to Judith what happened with Rose. But before any of that, he needs to make things right with Mr. Wilkerson.

Cattle are cheap in the spring of 1887. Bullets and lives are cheaper.
