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?
You would be shaking too !Originally Posted by Jim Poor
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.
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:)
i agree alfred. looks like a couple of battling elk!! nice one deuce.
