Where that is they aren't wandering the streets but I hear you and agree. When I came home west bound the dot flashing signs were still out to watch for cattle. Just a very sad situation.

There was a typo.  They said wondering the streets. Not wandering. They must have went to Syracuse.

My aunty is the vet for the ranches around here and her #1 grumble are the idiots who don't know how to operate a trailer...the amount of cows and horses that get dumped on the road because some guy forgot to latch the gate or took a bad turn going too fast is damn sad.

I hit a deer on I86 about 15 years ago ... did about $5k damage to my car.  Hitting a cow at highway speeds could be fatal not just to the bovine since Holsteins tend to be much taller and a lot heavier than a deer, and beefers are significantly heavier.   Livestock wandering loose on the roadways is a major hazard of driving on back roads in rural Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties, especially in Amish country.

I agree, what a waste.  Some T-bone, porterhouse, some ribeye, maybe even some prime rib

 

Now they're just Taco Bell "meat"

 

 

 

Really?  Couldn't make the obvious "ground beef" joke?

Epilogue... Driver feel asleep and the cows that survived were put down.

Pre tenderized beef.

I've actually seen that on a highway out towards Winchester Va.  A bunch of cows got look from their fields and the DOT put up warning signs a few years ago.
