I recall several years ago someone entered a pasture and dragged a pregnant cow to death behind their vehicle. Nobody ever came forward with information in this horrific incident in spite of rewards offered. I am sure law enforcement is looking into the possibility that the perpetrators had stealing one or several cows in mind. Passing vehicles might have prevented them from doing so and forced them to leave in a hurry. I bet many parents of teenagers in the area are praying that their youngster is not responsible.

I have been traveling Hwy 97 some the last few days and have been thoroughly enjoying seeing these cattle on the spring pasture. Makes a community look more complete with all the variety in agriculture. Hopefully the vandals will turn themselves in and make restitution to the farmer and pickup driver.

@ citizen– every thing that can be said about your comment has just about been said. One good thing about this is the front of the truck did it’s job. The newer vehicles that tend to fold up on impact are a life saver. Clint I’m sorry your dad was hurt.

“Citizen” …are you for real ? It was dark not daylight. Black Cows therefore NO # tail-lights ! I’m pretty confident that this man would have preferred not to have hit these cows. He could have been killed himself.
Dark night..dark highway..black cows.,..now do you get it ?

@ Citizen:

Nice advise, however…..IT WAS DARK AND THE COWS WERE BLACK.

When you are driving, you need to put on the brakes and not hit something in the road in front of you regardless of how it got there. Be attentive that anything could be on the road at any time. The law is clear about that.
It is the responsibility of the driver to not run into things.

These thugs should be charged not only with vandalism but also animal abuse causing death times two. Glad the driver wasn’t hurt more seriously than he was. My heart hurts for the senseless death of the two cows.

Time for a critter camera at that location. It would take nice pictures of whoever did it with a time stamp and everything, if one wanted to invest the cost and find a good hiding place for it.
