Driven by a scarcity of range
food to cat leaves from a tree at-
the edge of a ravine, this 3-year-i
old steer on a Gillespie county

its neck between a wiry grape-
vine and an oak tree and strangled

the steer after it had been missing
two days, its legs were dangling
down the steep bank, as pictured,
the grapevine around one horn and
under its jaw. (Texas News
