A Moo-ving Experience

So you're getting ready for the end of shift when you get dispatched for a tractor trailer on its side.  While you are responding you are told that cattle are involved.  Well, here it is...a mooving experience that I am quite sure will mess someone's day up.

My question for the morning is how do you respond to this one.  Let's face it, you're on the highway.  Dangerous enough until traffic is totally shut down and then there is always so wahoo who wants to drive around the accident like last Saturday when a bystander decided to drive right onto downed power lines that we were trying to block until he got the bright idea to drive onto the sidewalk.

Beyond that there are ninety head of cattle which probably outweigh your crew by a pound or two so if they get goofy, your trauma shears and pocket knife probably aren't helping much.

Just some things to think about this morning as I listen to the morning traffic report and am glad I'm not out there today, though I do get to experience bookends of Memorial Day Weekend.  Yay!  Be safe out there.
