Guy was living the American dream. Every kid wants to grow up to be a cowboy.
Not a dead cowboy.

(talking about cotton fiber) I need another piece for comparison.
Forget how to use the scissors? (pushes them to him) Put your fingers in the holes and squeeze.
(smirks) Yes ma-am.
(after Grissom read Cody's poem) It's not Shakespeare.
I'm actually a fan of cowboy poetry.
Are you really?
Yeah, it's just a way of organizing your thoughts and feelings so that you can make sense of them.
Sounds like Cody was trying to make sense of his girl leaving him.
(returning the poetry letter to Nick) Yeah well, poetry can help you with that, too.
Hey buckaroos, have you seen Catherine? Because I just got the results from that semen stain on Cody Latshaw's jeans.
Come up with a match?
I did. I had to run an Ouchterlony test on it.
So, not from a human donor?
No, no, bovine. (Nick and Greg look appalled) Yeah. I took a psychobiology class once and we studied a very interesting case. Okay, there was a guy who lived on a farm, and literally the only way that this guy could get sexually satisfied was when he was with livestock. (Nick tries to interrupt)
Hey, that's okay, I'm good...
(growing more enthusiastic as she continues) Well, you see, apparently the whole thing started one ngith because he was in the barn and it started snowing, he was stuck in there and couldn't make his way back to the farmhouse so he decided that he would try and stay warm... well, with a sheep. (Nick just looks at Wendy) But then the horses were jealous, so, you know... And I think there was a cow in there as well...
You know, I think we got the picture.
I wish I didn't.
(slaps Precious Ricky's arm) I didn't take you for a country music fan, yee-haw. (leaves)
Cowboys, cattle rustling, and now a shooting at the dance hall.
Welcome to the Wild West.
Well howdy Partner. This is a new experience for me, first time I caught me a cattle rustler.
(about Cody) Well it's part of the tradition, you know. Solitary man out there trying to find himself.
Yeah, but no man is an island. I mean, obviously, he had feelings for Nancy or he wouldn't have written her that poem.
Nancy? I don't know about that. Tiffany's the one that broke his heart.
I don't think it's about either girl. (reading the poem) "I can't help now but wonder what your brown eyes were concealing." Did you read Tiffany's autopsy report?
Oh. Yeah, her eyes were blue.
So were Nancy's.
Then who did he write the poem for?
Wintwister. (Catherine and Nick can't believe it)
The bull?
I think that's why he went back to the arena that night. Wordsworth once wrote, "Through love we feel we are greater than we know." My guess is, riding that bull, Cody felt like a greater man.
