Never underestimate a Canadian Cow!!!Cows taking on a black bear in B.C., CanadaNow this is some tough beef...Maybe I'll get me a "Watch cow"Interesting photo from a ranch in the Kettle Valley , BC area where every year they have to deal with some pretty weird stuff.This year a bear had been bothering the herd and I guess enough was enough. Read on...A couple of evenings ago, Wayne went out to check the cows and saw a very strange sight and was able to photograph the event.
Finally, the bear decided to vacate the area. We thought he'd be dead for sure, but there was no sign of him the next day. We'll have to keep an eye out for eagles in the trees or flocks of ravens flying up. We're sure he's got some broken ribs out of the deal at the very least. Wayne couldn't believe his eyes when he witnessed this ruckus.
The blonde and white Simmental cow we know as I-12 went right for him. She is a very good cow, a very attentive mother and about12 years old. She's in her prime and knows that bears are bad news.She tried her best to mash him into the ground.A black bear approached our cow herd which turned out to be a very big mistake on his part.
This is another once-in-a-lifetime photography event to add to all the others he managed to document this summer. It is amazing. Whoever said Cows were stupid are so Wrong....they have a heart and a mind too!

Hi Rick, Do you know who the photographer was? I would like to put them in contact with a large German nature magazine, who I know would be interested in publishing them? Thanks! Please let me know an email to contact you directly to swap contact details if you are interested. Tiffany
