The Cattle Call” is a song written and recorded in 1934 by American songwriter and musician Tex Owens  It became a signature song for Eddy Arnold. Owens wrote the song in Kansas City while watching the snow fall. “Watching the snow, my sympathy went out to cattle everywhere, and I just wished I could call them all around me and break some corn over a wagon wheel and feed them. That’s when the words ‘cattle call’ came to my mind. I picked up my guitar, and in thirty minutes I had wrote the music and four verses to the song,” he said.  He recorded it again in 1936.
