Was Jack Twist an Adopted Child?

Thanks brokeplex!
Even if it would have been impratical for Acquirre to fire immediately or nearly so both Jack and Ennis or one, surely he would have!
Even if not so easy to replace them! Since he cuts their time in half!! Really why so early??
Hugs!

It would have been bad economics to have fired them when he saw the two "rolling in the dust". It was still too early in the season and the sheep weren't yet fat enough on the allotment grass. When he did cut their summer short, it was August, that was late enough for it to pay economically.

Adopted or not as a child, Jack did stay with Ennis there for how many days?
Hugs!

Do you mean how many days were Jack and Ennis together after meeting in Aguirre's "chokey little trailer"?
Most ranchers in the Northern Rockies move their sheep up to the allotments in late May or Early June. Aguirre told them to shove 'em down in the middle of August. So counting the 2 days they were in Signal and the 2 days during and after shove down. I would say they were together a little over 2 1/2 months.

Wow, 2 1/2 months maybe Ennis and Jack were together then... on the mountain!
How many more after that?
Hugs!
