Linda Warren - Skylar's Outlaw

“Isn’t there something we can do?”

Cooper ran his hand over the cow’s swollen stomach and studied the unborn calf. “First, we have to get this out of her. It’s dead. No telling how long she’s been out here like this. Damn it! Damn it!” He stood and marched to his horse, grabbing a rope. “We have to pull the calf.”

Sky didn’t say anything, because this was something she knew nothing about. She had a feeling she was going to get a lesson in ranching today.

From a man who wished she was anywhere but here.

COOPER STUDIED THE CALF once again.

“What’s the plan, boy?” Ru asked.

“Both feet and head are in the right position. My guess is the calf was too big for her to have and must have died during the struggle of birthing.” Coop looped the rope around both its hooves and tied a knot. “You and I have to pull it.”

“Can I help?” Sky asked.

“Try to keep the heifer calm.”

“How do I do that?”

“Use your instincts,” he snapped.

If she was a whiny female, that just might have hurt her feelings. But she’d show Mr. Yates.

He strolled to his horse and rummaged in his saddlebags, returning with a tube of something. Squirting what looked like a lubricant into his palm, he rubbed it over both hands.

Sky knelt in the patchy grass at the heifer’s head. The cow made a deep guttural sound and her big brown eyes seemed to say, Help me.
