Felt like I hit a horse and scared the bejezzus out of me!

Had to replace 1/2 dozen front parts and I was pulling Coyote parts and hair out of my front grill for weeks.

Go drive the road east of Eureka. It’s probably still there.

Don’t they fence in ewes and lambs right now?

They usually are. Not sure why these two were out. I’m surprised as well.

Totally. I would have said “what the…” BAM.

Yeah I dropped an expletive after impact. Fresh guts and chewed grass, yucky.

No, but it was pretty disturbing to see the carnage. Tbh, I was frustrated.

Did you find the farmer and pay him for the lamb?

Bullrider

You mean ask the rancher to pay for damage to the car?

No, livestock have the right of way in Utah. Plus your insurance will pay it.

Sounds like a parable. I hope the ninety and nine left are going to be okay.

Good thing it was a little lamb and not what my daughter and SIL hit last year.

85fan

5/6/21 10:05am

Wow. Scary stuff. Yeah it was a little bigger than a lamb but not huge.

I have no sympathy for the bighorn sheep killing range maggots
