The day finally arrived for Jonathan's San Fransisco Knob Hill estate inheritance to clear probate. The next day he bought a pickup truck and headed north out to the high desert of Eastern Oregon with a sack full of cash. His dream had always been to buy a cattle ranch and become a cowboy. Not having any contacts he arrives in a small town and heads for the saloon to meet the locals. After settling up to the bar, he announces "Howdy I am here to buy a ranch and if any of you fellers know of one thats for sale then i'd be mighty obliged". A weathered old cowboy down the line replies "welcome to Frenchglen. I'm Buck and yes I know of some. If you want I could take you out for a drive tomorrow to show you a few that can be bought" So early the next morning Buck rolls up in his jeep and picks up Jonathan at his motel. They drove for hours on dirt roads looking at expanses of sage brush ranch lands that were available to buy. On the way back Buck comes around a turn and on the bottom of the hill is a young heifer with her head and horns all tangled up in a barbed wire fence. Old Buck looks over at Jonathan and says " boy this is too good an opportunity to pass up" so he gets out and walks up to the heifer and drops his britches to give her a good work over. He then steps back, and while pulling up his britches he yells over to Jonathan " You wanna give it a go boy before I cut her loose?" Jonathan acts a bit sheepish at first and then calls back "well, well yes but do I really have to put head in the barbed wire?"
