Battling Bovines

[Mike Tracy]

Since there seems to be a run on cattle pictures I figured to jump in. Brafords from one of the wifes family ranch's a couple of years ago. Full frame with a short lens.

Short lens? Have you lost your marbles? :D Don't think I'd want to be close to these two going at it.

Looks like maybe some motion blur?

Talk about butting heads Mike !!!! You are braver than I would be catching this image with a SHORT lens and those look like they mean business. Thanks for sharing.

[Jim Poor]

You're right, I probably would be :D

All these cattle images are taking me back to days gone by... I grew up in rural NW Missouri working on my grandparents farm... Back then we generally had around 500-1000 head of cattle along with ~2000 acres of corn and beans. It was (and still is) a decent sized operation.

These are obviously dangerous animals that can cause some serious injuries or even death, however I found that for the most part, even when they're acting aggressive, they will generally stand down and take off if your approach them directly, although I have had them charge and I've been kicked before as well.

That pair does have a look of determination and would give them lots of room ....... almost look like they belong in Wildlife :D:)
