Not related..but local Op.
Somebody has gotta get after the Rancher on this side of the valley to fix his fences along the highways.
Second cow I know of got plastered last night on highway 68.
Guy at the outpost said that there have been at least four hit since Dec 1.
The fences are in real bad shape. I guess I will have to call the BLM and let them know. I hate to do that but..
Well you know what the Az law is right? The cows have right of way even if they get through a fence. The Rancher is not obligated to keep them fenced. They only do it to prevent too many losses. Legally if you hit one no matter where it is you have to pay the Rancher for that Cow if he chooses to charge you for it. And Cow laws are also why all the “undeveloped” back roads are universal as a 45 mile an hour zone. These laws go all the way back to Open Range laws. All the rancher has to do is make sure a “Cow” sign is up.
