He was as cool as a cucumber, though I expected to see him killed, and was so excited that I could not speak. Well, when the leaders had got within about a quarter of a mile of him I saw them try to slack up, and when the cows and steers in the rear got about where the cowboy had cut across their path, I was surprised to see them stop and commence to nibble at the grass. Chasing after a stampeding herd was full of dangers like; the cowboys horse stepping in a hole or otherwise loosing its footing and throwing the cowboy off, perhaps into the path of the stampeding cows, or getting their foot caught in the stirrup and getting dragged to death.

Although most stampedes were associated with Longhorn cattle, there were also Buffalo stampedes which were even more dangerous than cattle stampedes, because Buffalo ran straight ahead their eyes were on the sides of their heads blindly, and they could not as a practical matter, be stopped until they decided to stop running on their own.

Also Buffalo stampedes might mean that 5, to 10, or more were on the move and they were generally bigger than most any cattle.
