They started to walk around, and Mitchell spotted the collection of buttons. “Yes,” he nodded after a moment. “I’m driving a herd through. Job closes in Wyoming, and we should be heading out tomorrow, I believe.”
“Have you worked them for a while?” Matthew asked curiously. “I haven’t seen any other folks bringing their horns around here lately. At least not in this weather.”
He smiled wryly. “It’s a little mad, I know. Our foreman, Nichols, is as green as summer grass and thought we could move more slowly and make it work. I told him several times we’d need to beat the snow, but I’m afraid there’s no moving some folks.”
Matthew nodded knowingly. “I’ve been there. That’s why you’ve got to eventually go to work for yourself. It’s harder, but at least your problems are all your own. Have you any plans after Wyoming? Are you waiting on another herd, or what?”
That sort of question arose often enough, but Mitchell just shrugged. It was the west, after all. “I’ve got a few prospects. I’m not certain, but there’s always a job somewhere.”
“Five yards, please,” Matthew grinned at the man at the register and eyed Mitchell curiously for a moment. There was something about the man, his ease of conversation and casual enthusiasm. Mitchell wasn’t sure if he’d ever met a man who appeared so relaxed. “Then how about you come work for me?”
