A similarity of driving the back roads of Utah and Scotland is that you’ve a pretty good chance of running into cows or sheep sharing the road with you. Twice in Utah I encountered riders on horseback herding along the road. Sorry, no sheep shots today, but we’ll start with a Highland coo since it is Coosday, after all, and continue with some cattle and horses from Utah.

In the image above, the cattle were heading to cross the road I was on, but they gave plenty of time for me to get past them before they approached. A car driving along merited no attention, but a guy standing on a ridge pointing something at them did give them pause, so I moseyed along.

Occasionally, some wildlife such as deer or elk will share the land, but this fellow was harrierring the pasture looking for dinner.
