Things are
tough all over, as cattle come down from the hills looking for lawn, & find it at an apartment complex.
“They were there for the grass,” said Diestel, a 10-year sheriff’s veteran assigned to the
Malibu/Lost Hills station. “They went from green belt to green belt. The canyon is just so dry.”
The animals had made their first appearance the night before. Deputies, aided by county animal control workers and an apartment-dweller with a couple of herding dogs, thought they had successfully shooed the herd back up
Browns Canyon.

Suddenly, though, help appeared in the form of a woman who said she was the neighbor of the rancher whose cattle had wandered off.
The woman, armed with what Diestel described as an “Indiana Jones”-style bull whip, was able to persuade the cattle to git along.
“She drove them the rest of the way,” he said. “It was funny as heck.”
The Cattle Are Coming!
ReplyDeletewell, that explains those big white puddles.
I say let 'em mow the lawn for a week or two in exchange for a couple thick, dry aged Ribeyes.
