Horses or Cows?

We are 1500 miles into this thing and are waiting patiently for our first bear sighting. It will be a super thrill whenever it happens. In the meantime, we see plenty of Pronghorn antelope, elk, one coyote, deer, and beautiful wild horses. 

And cows. Lots of cows. They express their stupidity by watching us nervously as we approach, but instead of running away from the road before we meet them, they act completely startled as we are 5 or 10 feet from them, and only then do they run off the road. 

A few days ago on a paved road outside Pinedale WY, we came upon 250 cows and calves being driven to summer pastures. We could do nothing but stop and wait until the cows, cowboys, and cowgirls passed. It was better than a John Wayne movie.
