My dad pointed out to me years ago you never see a charlais on the road at night, always the black Angus.
My Lt. Was headed home from a 12hr shift when I heard him on his portable call out officer needs help. I raced down the road he took home and he told me to slow down for cows. I found him about two miles from town kneeling and spitting up blood. An angus calf had crossed the road and his momma followed after him. Lt was running about 65 and saw her a split second before impact. He jerked the wheel, missing her body but severing her head and neck with the doorpost. It came thru the window and hit him full on in the chest. The impact bent his trauma plate and his vest definately saved him. A DPS trooper and I removed the cow head /neck from the car. It was all we could do to pick it up.
I'd say it was like having a bag of cement hit your windshield at 65mph. Like I said earlier, the cow wasnt branded and no one claimed it. The land owner said the land was leased, the lessee said no stock was missing.
