[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1686227, member: 40335"] We had just driven 1200 miles straight coming home from Colorado and was about 50 miles from home and 3 a.m in the morning when came up on the accident. Cops hadn't made it there yet. Wife wanted me to shoot the cow and put it out of it's misery. Had my 44Mag pistol but, thought it best to not get involved and was sure the cops would be there within minutes and shoot the cow. I was weaving through the dead cows and thought I was driving between a cow and big calf but was instead the cow chewing its cud and what i thought was a big calf was the cows hind quarters and legs. I guess the cow about 1400 lbs couldn't feel it's hind quarters had been cut off. Was a sad deal. We don't have open range here. The cows had gotten out of their pasture through a fence somehow and gotten on the highway. Certain areas I see cows out on the highway way alot. Even call it in to 911 most of the time. Cops don't respond to calls like that most of the time either. 3 years ago came up on a car flipped onto its side and wrapped around a tree. At a location that i have called 911 about cows being out. On several ocassion. One time a state trooper answered the call. We ran the cows back into the pasture. The trooper shined his flash light to check the fence. All 5 strains had been down so long grass had grown over them. You could step over the fence. Was like that for a quarter mile or more. The car I found that Thanksgiving night was still smoking from the water spraying out of the radiator onto the manifolds. I found a dead girl still in the car while I waited on 911 to send help out. Found out later the girl was 23 years old and had two baby girls of her own at home. [/QUOTE]
