Years ago when there were only a few buffalo in TV in one or two areas, there were many herds of cows that were located throught TV prior to an area being deveoped. I don't know if these cows belonged to the Morse Family or were left to graze on lands leased to cattle farmers. It was a nice touch and added to our growing communities. The cows grazed and when an area was developed they were moved to other areas.

Then the buffalo herd started to multiply and little by little they were moved to areas where cows formerly grazed. I should note that no one back then, thought the cows were amenities, or were underfed or in a petting zoo. It has only been fairly recently that some folks arrived and decided that someone else's property was their's to pet, feed and generally annoy by getting up close and personal for photos of their encounters with nature.

Now we see the result of their actions. It's just a shame that some folks can't leave things alone and stop messing with what belongs to someone else.

I am happy to see to return of the cows and the end of the idiotic behavior. It is a start to returning TV to the pleasant days of years gone by.
