But in the countless miles beyond the station compound roam tens of thousands of cows, many entirely feral from a long period of neglect. Rafael has been hired, along with a ragged crew of ringers and stockmen, to bring them in for drafting. Over a season they use helicopters, motorcycles, bullcatcher jeeps, horses, ropes, and knives to win Stilwater Station back from the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA deeply poetic inquiry into our desire to make order where we find wildness, \u003cem\u003eStilwater: Finding Mercy in the Outback\u003c\/em\u003e suffuses us with salt and scrub and blood, blurring the line between domestic and feral in wondrous, unsettling ways.
