Strange as it may sound, cows occasionally

get loose and wind up on roadways. Back in 1966 on my way home while driving my mother’s tank (a 1963 Buick Wildcat) a cow/steer was walking down the middle of northbound I81 near Buchanan, Va. Somehow I saw it in time to avoid it. But otherwise there would have been “hamburger” all over that section of I81.
