...their money, instead of accepting the Government's 50?-on-the-dollar bounty when they are destroyed. His father sorrowfully and scornfully refuses. In a long and heartbreaking scene, uncluttered by more than a few words of dialogue, a bulldozer scoops a giant grave out of the grassland and the cattle are driven into it; then a platoon of men with shotguns and rifles stand around the edge and systematically shoot them dead. Hud, sardonically, fires the first shot...

...acre farm, then left for Paris to command NATO. Until he returned to become President, the farm, its topsoil worn away in supporting Redding's 42 milch cows and heifers, was a losing proposition. Ike sold his share of the operation to Allen, who switched it to grassland cultivation and replaced the milch cows with Black Angus cattle. Allen employs retired Brigadier General Arthur Nevins, who served Ike as a World War II staff planner, to man age operations; work is done by Farmers Ivan Feaster and Dale Newman...
