With light cattle on the Plains in pioneer
days, shoeing was not so imperative; but with a
heavy team (nearly a ton each] of 1906 the case
was different and caused much anxiety and
care. Once, on the summit of the Rocky
Mountains and above the clouds we had to
throw the Dave Ox to get a shoe on him; two
shoes to each foot; nailed into the hoof, same
as with the horses; shod 17 times during the
whole trip.
