his lot in

The
sweet
but dumb Chilean sheep, unconcerned about the
nationality
of Joe Aguirre's flock, proceeded to get thoroughly entangled with them during the hailstorm.

It was the
operativeness
of Ennis's prayer of thanks that allowed Jack to bring up his
cow
and
calf
operation
idea.

An
excerpt
from Kirkus Reviews' review of
Close Range: Wyoming Stories
at Amazon:
And the powerful "Brokeback Mountain" explores with
plangent
understated compassion the
life
long sexual love between two
cow
boys destined for separation and the harsh truth that "if you can't fix it, you've got to stand it."
def. = expressing or suggesting sadness; plaintive

"After showing their initial idyll in the mountains,
Brokeback
does to its heroes what no movie
cow
boy wants to have happen: Things change in the world around them. They complete the sheepherding and rejoin society."
