Do cows like to line up and watch a cloud show? Perhaps they do. I didn’t see anything else nearby that could cause two dozen cattle to line up shoulder to shoulder along this barbed wire fence south of Valley City. Naturally a couple of bovine sentries turned around to keep an eye on me as I approached, blowing an otherwise perfect shot, but the fact that all twenty-four of them were still lined up along the top of this hill was worth a hike and a few quick shots.
