Mud filled the grooves of my boots, dry dust clung stubbornly to my jeans, and the brim of my old ball cap hid my face as I pushed open the feed store door that morning. Normally, this trip would be routine—grab mineral blocks, maybe a bag of feed, check the fencing wire. Same as every week. But that day, something snapped.
