Clare is Amy Jo's father. It is he who owned the bull who attacked Abe. As the men are trying to get the bull off Abe, Clare is also attacked but will not let anyone take time away from Abe to tend to his wounds. Clare shoots the bull after the attack. He is also the one who drives the wagon to transport Abe into town. It is at one point in the family rift over the bull attack and Abe's injuries that Arnie blames Clare for Abe's injuries because the bull did belong to him.
