Country Road Encounter · 03:51 PM

We were traveling on a lonely country road and came upon a small group of cows that acted like they owned the road and didn't appreciate us being on their property either.

Yeah, he was really screaming at us, the other calf never stopped nursing.

Okay, I can't resist: It looks like they were telling you to moooooooooooooooooooooooooove on to anywhere else.

OPEN RANGE, ya gotta love it if you are a rancher, if you run into it you bought it and it was prime show stock from a championship blood line. Cliff

From "AREA 51" VIEWER'S GUIDE by Glenn Campbell (v.4.01, 1995), p.33:

Quote:

Serious Beef. The most dangerous hazard on [Nevada] Route 375 [the ET Highway] is not alien spacecraft or U.S. security forces, but terminal encounters of the bovine kind. Since the highway is open range, stock wander freely across the road. Cattle are most dangerous at night when you can't see them until just before impact. Drive slowly and stay alert. Even in the day you should not become complacent. As one Rachel [Nevada] resident explained to me, "They got black ones for the night and tan ones for the day." The little ones pose a special risk: If Baby is on one side of the road and Mama is on the other, Junior could make a mad dash toward Mom as a car approaches. The final insult of colliding with one of these beasts is that after your car is totaled and your front teeth knocked out, you are required by law to pay for the animal. (Please don't hit and run. It's a great loss to the rancher, and your insurance should pay.)

Cattle are no laughing matter. These animals are dumb. They stand in the middle of the road. Sometimes they sit in the road. They look death squarely in the eye and chew their cud. One can see how they would be the subject of choice for lazy [ET] alien biologists: Cattle are easy to spot, easy to catch, easy to work on, and they don't have to pay for the animal.

My favorite lines: They look death squarely in the eye and chew their cud. And, They got black ones for the night and tan ones for the day. Yah, don't mess with the cattles, and hope the cattles don't mess with you.

Free range hamburger. The little guy in the second shot sure has an attitude problem. Acts like he owns the road and is letting you know it.

Oh, it's not exactly new. We've had the house here for 10 years, been coming here for over 30 years (family nearby). The Bisbee house was just an ephemeral abode.

Ah, he's just bothered by the noise and the lack of mama.

No where near roads that need to be shared with cattle. Sure, your title is less meaty, but I've got no beef with it. (see what happens when you get me started)
