Chapter 5 I wasn’t lying about the stables—Boss Daddy has eighteen horses his ranch hands use to traverse his acreage. With thousands of head of cattle grazing on his land, Boss Daddy needs all the horses he can get, and he owns more than anyone else for miles around. Hell, he owns everything else; there are no other cattle barons for hundreds of miles in any direction from Junction, no ranchers, no one who isn’t somehow connected to the BDT ranch. With more than two dozen men in his employ, Boss Daddy has more than enough work for us all, and he wouldn’t turn away an extra man for a day’s worth of work. Though somehow I don’t think Charlie knows the meaning of the word. The stables need to be mucked out daily, and because it’s a demoralizing job, it’s doled out among the ranch hands eq
