TILL THE COWS COME HOME by Judy Clemens

Book Description

Stella Crown, dairy farmer and Harley-Davidson enthusiast, must discover why children in her
town
are dying, and thwart an evil saboteur set on destroying her town.


TILL THE COWS COME HOME by Judy Clemens, begins as follows:


CHAPTER ONE


“It’s a boy!  It’s a boy!” Zach shrieked.
“Oh no.  Really?”  I slumped to the floor, my elbows resting on my
knees.  “All that work for a boy?”
Carla grimaced.  “Sorry, Stella.”
“Stop.  It’s not your fault.”
“Poor old cow,” Howie said.
I sighed and leaned my head back against the wall.  It was only
mid-morning and already the temperature was in the high eighties.  I
wiped my forehead on my sleeve and looked at the mother, never one of
my favorites.  She’d just had a calf cut out of her side and now she
stood there, dumbly chewing her cud, as if nothing had happened.  I
made a face at her.
“What now?” I asked.
“Now we sew ‘er up,” Carla said.  “Give me a hand.”
Doctor Carla Beaumont waded through the straw to her med kit and
pulled out a hook-shaped needle and long pieces of thick thread.  Her
biceps-high gloves made the work cumbersome, but she handled the
instruments with the deftness of an experienced veterinarian.
“Come on,” she said.  “Hold this while I stitch.  Keep the two sides
out far enough I can get to them.”
I grabbed hold of the cow’s uterus, visible through the gaping
incision in the side of the cow.  It was slippery and warm, covered
with blood and who knows what other kind of slime.
