In Wisconsin, it's not uncommon to see deer crossing signs warning drivers that there may be some deer getting in your way down the road. Despite our love of dairy and dairy farming, however, you rarely see cow crossing signs. Mostly, they stay in fenced pastures, in barns, or make their way under the roads through culverts and underpasses. I think the only time I've seen cows crossing a road in Wisconsin is when they busted through a fence, and that wasn't supposed to happen. Cows cross roads in Montana, in Colorado - in ranch country. And, according to the signage, along Route 1 in Sonoma County. Still, I wasn't prepared for this...

| Fortunately, I spied these gals from far away, so I knew they were ahead. |

They really were just hanging out next to this spot by the road.
Conveniently, Sexy Lady fit right in this spot, so it was easy to meet 'n' greet up close. |
 |
| There were even calves with the cows. |
 |
| The calves startled easily, and then they would go over the steep edge... to this adorable seaside pasture. |

I was not the only one pulling over to take photos.
There was also a guy on the other side of the road who pulled over
and then walked 25 yards on the edge (not advisable) to take some shots. |

Caption this!
(I have a similar photo of my sheep looking out from the barn during a snow storm.) |
