After sleeping in their trucks on the shoulder of a
Chase County gravel road, four over-the-road cattle truck drivers
or "Bullhaulers" talk shop at
6:30 a.m. on a pasture southeast of Bazaar. They're waiting to unload
their cargo of feeder calves they picked up South of San Antonio,
Texas, 768 miles from Bazaar, the previous morning. The drivers are,
left to right: Howard Kirk, Emporia; Roger Wessels, Davenport Nebraska;
Junior Kilgore, Abbyville and Travis Oakes, Emporia.
