Cattleman
There is a bond between a cattleman and his livestock that is difficult to explain. Making a living raising live animals requires an involvement unlike other occupations. The rancher will work long hours in miserable conditions with little pay in caring for his herd. The cowboy�s horse is mostly left out of this piece as I am focused on the relationship between the man and his calf. That is the reason for the special connection between the cowboy�s right arm and the calf�s left leg. The calf is perplexed but not scared as he is in good hands. I believe it is this man�s spirit that God had in mind when he wrote �...know well the condition of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds�.
(Prov. 27:23)
