Author Description

Eli was anxious for me to look at this steer. "Doc," he said, "what do you think about that mass on this steer?" "I have no idea, Eli. We will probably have to stick a needle into it and get a sample under the microscope," I replied. Eli listened as he was cleaning his fingernails with his large pocket knife. "Yeah, Doc, you get your needle ready. I have got to get back to the pens," he said, half chuckling under his breath. -from Cowboy Education Adding to the series of Dr. David E.
