Open Range
Central Wyoming
2015
Most of the time when I get stopped by cows on the highway, they’re being herded from one fenced pasture to another and feel out of place enough on the road that it’s easy to intimidate them with your vehicle’s bulk and get them to move out of the way. These open range cattle however, seemed to feel quite at home lounging on the road and were definitely not intimidated by vehicles–at least not by mine. I think I’d rolled within inches of them before they finally reluctantly sauntered out of the way. It made me glad I wasn’t driving through there at 65mph at night.
