Moo moo!

"The ox who´s free can lick where he pleases" (Sancho Panza, Don Quixote Second Part, Chapter XXII). Ask any good bike mechanic and they will advise you that the last thing you need moving violently through your rear wheel at a perpendicular angle is 500 tins of corn beef. Some of the "cows" that wander along the sides Carterra Austral have very large pointy horns and a distinct lack of udder action. They made me a bit nervous at first especially as I am wearing a bright red raincoat. However although I have inadvertently herded a few for several hundred yards they usually get out of the way or are completely indifferent to me passing by.
