Because ranchers faced feed costs that consumed the value of their livestock, they sold off their herds or accelerated the slaughter of cows and heifers, creating a temporary surplus that compromised future supply.

Daddy would wake up in the middle of the night because somehow while he was sleeping he would hear a heifer—a cow— moaning because she was in labor.

The heifer has now been returned home, and is said to be "fit and well".

His brother, David Workman, killed in a fall off a cliff as he rode a mule in the dark in search of a lost heifer.
