Modern-day story of a semi-retired older Colorado cowman. Monte, a widower, meets a young widow with two small children when she buys a ranch next to his. Monte is very independent, opinionated, and holds firm convictions. He takes on the problems of modern ranching, government bureaucrats, dogs, rodents, bankers and hunters. Even city folks will relate to his problems, and the way he handles them, directly, humorously, and winning all the way.
