Stopped on the road...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 13 November 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
We were driving out of Echo Basin Ranch RV Park when we came upon these free range cattle.
Note our hood ornament lower center.
"Free range is a method of farming husbandry where the animals are allowed to roam freely instead of being contained in any manner. The term is used in two senses that do not overlap completely: as a farmer-centric description of husbandry methods, and as a consumer-centric description of them. Farmers practice free range to achieve free-range or humane certification (and thus capture high prices), to reduce feed costs, to produce a higher-quality product, as a method of raising multiple crops on the same land, or for other reasons."

Judy! You're an artist! Between yesterday's and this image today, you could do a "cowboy" kind of series of framed wall hangings. This is really nice. I can practically hear the cattle, and smell the air.

Another well photographed scene. The processing is very effective for this image. Definitely a more humane way for the cattle to live and feed. Healthier choice if you eat meat. But I would have a name for each one.

@Barbara: I'm smiling at your "name for each one" ... who knows, maybe he did name them! ;D
