It was unusual to see cattle along the highway that we were going to Madras, Oregon. There was a rancher going along on his four-wheeler trying to 'herd' his cows to an upper pasture. We came along this black angus herd of fine beef on the road as we made our way around them.
The owner was trying to get them over a ridge and into another pasture as we saw the mother cows followed by their young calves. It was as we saw a mother walking on the roadside with their babies trailing behind them where they knew they would be safe if they kept their eyes ahead of them.
We noticed that as the mother cows edged their way over to the other side of the road next to where we were slowed down the young calves followed suit and got out of the way also. It must be natural instinct for them to know where to go and what to do and trust that their mothers knew where to guide them to safety.
Just like we "Moms" do to care for our young too.
