Does anyone know cattle? Like... you've actually got some hands on, real-life experience?
I know horses well enough to feel confident writing them, but I feel a little iffy when I'm writing about cattle. And since my bounty hunter has a cowboy background, I'd like to learn!
I have a short story in mind where my character, just turned 18 (in the year 1852), takes his first job at a ranch and needs to learn the ropes. Ideally, your character would be his mentor, allowing him (and me!) to learn a little bit more. Throw all the lingo and know-how at me! I'm definitely up for brainstorming a scenario that you find interesting. Dealing with rustlers? Part of the herd lost in bad weather? Driving them from point A to point B when some other trouble strikes? Heck, even a short romantic fling (if your character happens to be female).
Right now, I'm envisioning this as a pretty short RP. But hey! If we're having fun, we can always spin up a longer adventure!
