Like a cow in headlights...

--DIALOGUE OPEN--
So, what's black, as big as a car and has the look of "fuck that, I'm not moving?" Yes, a cow.
Coming home tonight, I was greeted by what I thought were tennis shoes walking in the road... you know the kind, those ones with the little reflectors on them that you don't see until you're actually running the person over because they're in the middle of the road in the first place?
Anywho, I see these little shiny "reflectors" in the middle of the road... literally in the middle of the road. Mind you, I had my brights on, but I still couldn't see what it was that was in front of me. It wasn't until I was nearly off the side of the road going around that I realized it was a damn cow. 9:30 at night on a back road with only my headlights for illumination and there's a BLACK cow in the middle of the road. Oh and I don't mean a bit of black and white... no, this butthead is pure black.
I stopped down the road and turned around, easily enough with a front wheel drive car on a snow covered road, just throw it in reverse and do a backwards doughnut. Sure enough, stupid is still standing there, staring at me. Those eyes just gazing at my headlights as I pulled off to the house it was standing in front of. It just stood there, staring, the kind of stare that's like "fuck moving, I'm a cow". This isn't the first time this has happened to me and if you don't believe me, cows don't move for anything. You can yell at them, honk your horn, you can probably tap them with the bumper, but they will just stand there all like "nope, not gonna do it".
I ended up knocking on the door of the house next to where I know they are supposed to be penned up and asked if they knew their neighbors with the cows because one was out. She didn't really, but knew who they were. After I got back to the car, stupid had moved off somewhere...
Cows *sighs*

Udderly frozen.
You're just goint to have to steer around.
It's enough to make your blood curdle.
... Yeah, think I'm done now. XD
We have a similar problem over here.
Except with sheep and deer.
You'll be driving along AND THEN SUDDNLY-!
Sheep.
Or a fucking stag bigger than your small french 3-door hatchback standing in the middle of the road staring at you...
fffffffffs
But the reason I say that is black cows. Plus night. Equals bad and easy targets to deal with on the road.
One smashed up our old van, cow lost just as bad as the van.
