Very nicely composed and presented. The horns make the photo!

Thanks, Doug, Debi & Kurt. @ Doug, this is the equivalent drive in C.S. that is in conjunction with the "Ride for the Brand" Rodeo. @ Debi, they are amazing creatures. You ought to see the bulls. @ Kurt, this/these adults are cows (see the calves ":^), and what kind of a name for a bull is "Kitty"? At least it would be Fred or Bob, yah? LOL Thanks again, y'all. Cheers, -mikey

Great shot Michael, I really like how the bull is focused on the camera. Color tones are excellent too. Just wish I could see his entire left horn. -angioman

Great one Mikey. I would have guessed it to be from the Grealey Stampede. They drive a hundred of these right down the street in front of during the parade. -COAmature

Thanks for the comments, guys. I guess you only want to name the ones you won't send to the ... slaughter house, eh? These are breeding cows with calves, no steers or bulls, so I guess they get more "friendly" with them, ha! Rod, yes, this lens does have IS, and I love it. I don't worry much about motion blur at a SS of a 125th or faster and it usually doesn't disappoint. Cheers, -mikey

The name looks normal for a cow to me. Really clear looking picy well done. Does this lens have IS Mikey? As the shutter speed is really low for such a sharp picy.

Now what kind of name is that for a cow! Lots of curves here Mikey, wonderful texture and and rich color too. Good one!
