Sand to Snow National Monument is a quiet place — its mountainous high desert and cascading streams a draw for those seeking panoramic views, tranquility and solitude.

But on a recent morning, the serenity was ruined by a menacing bellowing, making it clear passing hikers weren't alone.

Oh my....Terrorizing and menacing cattle? More snowflakes or written by one.....is there a safe room or safe place they could (go to, too get) over this trauma?

[for-q-clinton]

Rosie O’Donnell is out again I see.

[Spok]

I hear they’re good to eat.

[Thibodeaux]

Free Range and old means tough and stringy meat

[jmcenanly]

What is the difference between having a herd of cattle roaming around and having bison doing much the same thing?

[I-ambush]

Where have all the cowboys gone?

[Da Coyote]

“We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns…”

Damned NRA..... :-)

[BykrBayb]

There’s a recipe for that.

[JBW1949]

Home...Home on the range...
Where the deer and antelope and cows play...

I hear they’re good to eat.

It is said that the best hamburgers are made from sacred cows.

[Hot Tabasco]

dispatch a team of federal land managers, biologists and representatives of the nearby Morongo Band of Mission Indians reservation to come up with a strategy and funds to eliminate the unbranded cattle and collarless dogs.

Easy solution, put an add in the local paper "Free cows" and let the cattle ranchers come and round them up........

Unbranded cattle usually means “still has the testicular apparatus.” A full fledged 2000 pound bull is not to be taken lightly.

Sand to Snow National Monument was designated by President Obama on February 12, 2016

Meeeaaaaatttttt. Nothing a butchers knife couldn’t remedy.

Free Range and old means tough and stringy meat

But it would be lower in fat and cholesterol than store-bought beef, and therefore healthier.

[Portcall24]

Hey cowboy go round up that herd.

Not me, those cows are mean!

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Cows hate socialists

[MCF]

Nothing a pressure cooker couldn’t handle.

California wants to be left alone by the feds, this is a good place to start.
