After an old broken mouthed cow, who had been born on their farm, & raised gentle, attacked him when he picked up her newborn calf one late winter/early spring night.. a good friend started carrying a S&W mod 25-3 .45 Colt or a Ruger .45 Colt Blackhawk.. with a very stout load of Unique under a Hornady JHC. Roger never had to shoot a cow or horse on their place........ but he came to understand why the cowboys & farmers carried back then..... it generally wasn't for fear of Comanches.. rustlers or thieves....... though they caused folks to stay wary too, but stock animals acting up that was the greatest worry.......To the best of my knowledge... he still carries a large bore pistol when he works stock on their farms....... nearly 35 years later..........
Elmer Keith had similar feelings about being drug by a horse.
