Chase...this is a common animal that Grandma and Grandpa see in West Africa, unfortunately it is the domesticated kind. These are the only kind of cattle we have seen here. They aren't like my favorite cuddly "swiss cows" Posted by Picasa

This cow is carrying the owners belongings that he takes with him as he moves the cattle from place to place. These are fairly plump cows, some that we have seen are shockingly skinny. Posted by Picasa

The horns make you think twice about bothering this herd. Posted by Picasa

Here is our "cattleman" with his herd. Posted by Picasa

Where is the cattle crossing sign when you need one? Posted by Picasa

Now that's a tree! Posted by Picasa

Now this massage will take away ALL your cares and troubles even poverty! Posted by Picasa
