You can find em in the dark pretty good. They are tough to see in the fog. White cattle in the fog are like black cattle in the dark!

Reminds me of one day when I was inspecting several loads of black calves going to CAB lot in Nebraska--I helped sort the calves and inspected all day--so luckily they were inspected- and we had the total count-- because the trucks didn't get in until after dark....We'd bring a scaleful up- and then count them onto the truck by flashlight, since this was a set of shipping corrals out in the boonies with no electricity...

I remember the cowboy bringing them to the scale was riding a grey horse- cause thats all you saw when he brought the next scaleload up the alleyway....I made the comment that it would be easier counting if they were charolais and about got run out of the corral by the owner and his banker, who was an angus seedstock raiser...

Anyway the count on both sides came out right--PHEW!!--because I almost ended up in court on that one...The owner had retained ownership--and later in the year the lot where they went to went belly-up-- with the owner running off with some woman--and left all the cattle unfed and waters froze up-- hundreds died....Last I knew they still hadn't accounted for about 400 head of the 1000 he sent there... :(

I like the picture with the sunflower. The little cowgirl here loves white cows and has her own. The adults like black angus and the little cowboy has a herford with horns. The grandparents on the place let them pick their own cows.
