How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Look out for the Cows! #WordlessWednesday

in Uncategorized on 07/30/13

Out on the Sierra West Ranch we took our GMC Sierra for a really good run.  Up steep inclines and around tight bends, in and out of some simply breath taking scenery.  Then we had to stop our truck in it’s tracks for something this girl from the Suburbs has never, ever had to deal with.  Cows.  It was a cattle crossing baby.

Ridiculously cool.

Pop over one post to read a LOT more about my incredible adventure to the Wild West here.

Happy Wordless Wednesday!  Please leave me a comment and/or link up below!

      That’s hilarious! I bet they took their sweet time getting out of the way too!

      Did they carry signs that said, “Eat more chicken?”

      Great shot. I used to live on a cattle farm in Illinois and woke up one morning with two escapee cows standing right in front of the living room picture window. Maybe they were peeping cows.

      When I first moved to Iowa (from Phoenix) I called the cows “wild cows,” and it was hilarious.

      Just stay in the vehicle. No need to walk around and discover something less than pleasant on your shoes.

      How funny! On our vacation we had to wait for buffalo to pass.

      Your exuberance made me smile. As a woman from a small, rural town in the mid-west, it is not unusual for us to shut town down because a rancher needs to move one herd from a pasture on the north side of town to one on the south side.

      I think they had the right of way.
      We live in the country, but don’t normally come across a bunch of cows crossing. We do however see the occasional cow out of the fence.

      oh i almost took out a cow a couple months ago…he got out and was in the middle of the road after a hairpin turn…

    13. Patricia says

      July 31, 2013 at 12:30 am

      Haha, it must have been very nerve wracking for you waiting for them to cross. They take their own good time when moving… Great shot and thanks for hosting

      Great shot! I am accustomed to cows as we used to have them on our farm here in Jamaica. You won’t see me near them now though! 🙂 I was brave as a teenager. Thanks for hosting.
