I can think of something prettier...a herd of Arabians!

Although I do love seeing cattle out there too.

Driving throughout CA and seeing good pastureland converted to vineyards

just sickens my husband and me. Of course, we are cattlemen, through and

through, so seeing pastureland converted is very sad. Then, when the person

who plants vineyards either looses his interest or his shirt, the vineyards

are abandoned, along with the posts, wire trellises, and drip lines. It's

costly to remove and convert back to pasture. There's nothing much prettier

than a herd of cattle grazing contentedly on a nice hilly pasture.

Sigh.....
