Hitting a cow with the car

Recommended Posts

A guy I used to work with hit a cow with his car once, luckily it was just a glancing blow so car damage was minor and the cow was actually unharmed.

The cow had gotten loose on the road through a busted fence. If the owner had not stepped forward to claim the cow (and the damages it had caused) my buddy would have been able to keep the cowas compensation for the damages to his car!

...only in Kentucky! :S

you would have to pay around 300 bucks for the cow



In the US, it is the farmer's responsibility to keep the cow penned. The farmer would be liable for the damage to the car.


And hitting a cow is bad news. I tagged a flat black one on a moonless night. Luckily I saw the glint of its eyes and hit the brakes. Unfortuantely the cow decided to turn in the direction I was swervign so I still hit it pretty much head on at ~30 mph. I was in a full size van and it totaled the van.

Geesh, doesn't anyone remember Jack Handy?



That's awesome! I was just thinking about how you sounded like him! I dont think I've heard this one but I do love "Deep Thoughts"

Whenever someone asks me to define love, I usually think for a minute, then I spin around and pin the guy's arm behind his back. NOW who's asking the questions?

I made the cow/car one up. I like to come up with stupid things. I dream of one day becoming jack handy. :)

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful
flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's
carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a
very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.

Hiting a cow can be a pain in the neck.

Sometimes they can come thru the windshild and cause severe injury to anyone in the front seat.

Beware going tto Lost Priare boogie in Montana that state still has a open range law. cattle have the right to go where they want when they want.

You run into a cow with a car and the cow has a oweee. You got to pay the rancher the value of the cow.

Anyone from Montana here? Urban legend? or true?

R.I.P.
