Rising with the
dawn, retiring with the sunset, Cattleman is…
Warren Fedder, a sixty-something loner driving his herd of one,
Dozie, across the ranges and basins of the American West, subsisting
on nature, wandering among his memories, and, perhaps, searching
for the key that unlocks the "Code of the West." He lives
in the past, but the present intrudes and wrenches him out of his
reverie, forcing him to enlist Perigo, a wild and unfathomable character,
to help free Dozie from those who would turn her flanks into london
broil, her heart into potted meat product.
Equal parts comic farce, classic western, and magical reality,
Cattleman is also a unique example of an essential American story
form; the journey of discovery by an idiosyncratic individualist
who honors principle over authority.
