The cattle may run only a short distance or they may run ten miles, and after being quieted again may once more stampede.

Indeed, I took a herd once to Amarillo and they stampeded the first night on the trail and kept it up pretty near every night during the drive.

But, as said before, the remarkable part of the performance is the instantaneous nature of the shock or whatever it is that goes through the slumbering herd, and the quickness of their getting off the bed-ground.

Cow and calf herds are not so liable to stampede, but horses are distinctly bad and will run for miles at terrific speed.

Then you must just try and stay with them and bring them back when they stop, as you can hardly expect to outrun them.
