Mr. Purvis and Tiny
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
An antler spread of six feet, he really looked mean
The rascal was huge, the biggest I’ve ever seen.
Now I wasn’t real sure what Mr. Purvis was up to,
Maybe he lost his mind, didn’t know what to do.
So I called and asked him, “Mr. Purvis what for
Do you need a bull that weighs two-tons or more
Why that animal is a specimen of the breed
And you don’t have any other cattle so I don’t see the need?”
He did nothing but respond with a toothless grin
And finally he said, “I’m dressing up that front pasture again.”

About the Author
Brian Eckert, his wife, and three children live and work on the family ranch near Fredericksburg, Texas. Brian is a fifth-generation Texan, of German heritage. He grew up farming and ranching, which has instilled in him the importance of the old cowboy ways of faith, family, farming, and ranching. He still enjoys riding his gray mare Mystic, and Mystic enjoys working the cattle along with Missy and Patches, the cow dogs. Even though Brian is a part-time rancher, he takes pride in ranching and managing the land, a gift that God has given us; he still believes that we are to be good stewards of the earth.
