[QUOTE="creekdrive, post: 1462782, member: 21216"] One advantage to living out in the boonies! Moving cattle this way is pretty common in this area. There is also not really much for traffic on any of our roads. Mostly just a few locals and if they see cows coming they will usually just turn around and go a different route if they are in a hurry. On the 3 moves pictured we met 1 vehicle total and they pulled into an approach and waited till we went by. The odd guy will try and drive through the cows which is usually fine too if they do it slowly. If they try honking the horn that can create issues as our cows are used to being called with the horn and it usually results in them swarming the vehicle that is honking and not moving on until they realize that no grain is going to come from the strange vehicle. In the 5th picture you can see the feed truck has moved way ahead of the cows to the top of the hill so that nobody comes over the hill and meets the truck/cows with no warning. I usually do the same at the back end of the group when going down a hill. Usually once a year sometimes twice we have to cross a highway while moving cows. We always have signs set up and somebody stopping traffic while we are crossing the highway. [/QUOTE]
