Yep.  Just over the CO/NM border on a drive from Santa Fe to Moab.  Good eye :)

Been there, done that, except I didn't get a picture.

I'm not sure what was going on exactly.  Didn't look like a jailbreak, really, but I can't figure out why someone would be driving his/her cattle along a highway.

I'm not a rancher, so I don't really know, but I've seen the same thing before. There's gotta be a reason.

They might have escaped from somewhere? A very nice image. One you should be pleased with. :)

Thanks!  As it is, it's just sort of an interesting documentary photo.  I do wish that the green signpost was gone.  I might have to make it gone at some point I guess ;)

Would be a wholly different picture without the trucks, too.  Maybe not better, mayby not worse, but much different.

I think you need the trucks. I looks like the cattle has precedence as to right of way and the truckers are giving way. You can't remove the trucks and make it look like the Wild West. I guess - I live in Scotland and never been to the USA, but I have seen John Wayne films  ;) - it looks too modern.
