This Bring Back Memories

From the Havre Daily News: With Labor Day over, a new attraction — or distraction — is back on Beaver Creek Park south of Havre, and officials are urging people to slow down and use caution.
Cattle are grazing on the park, and signs have been posted both to warn drivers of the livestock and notify them of the seasonal night-time speed limits.
In an effort to reduce the chance of car-cow crashes, during grazing season — the day after Labor Day through Dec. 31, generally — the night-time speed limit is 35 mph. The daytime limit — 55 mph on the state-maintained part of the highway, about to Taylor Road, and 45 mph on the county-maintained part south of that — remains the same.  http://www.havredailynews.com/news/cattlebackinbeavercreek.html
When I lived in Havre, my first Fall season there, I was driving in the park at night and came across a big old car at about 50mph.  I hit that darn old cow and the cow just looked at me like I was on crack and mooed and waddled away.
Meanwhile my front end was pretty much destroyed, though I was able to coax the car back home for repairs.
They have some tough beef in that neck of the woods.
