One of several sneaky beaky photos of Border Patrol agents from roughly 1/2 mile away.

Unironically, cows are great indicators of what’s normal in fields and pastures. They’re up over there investigating ICE because they’ve never seen them or their vehicles before.

During WWII there are stories of both sides having issues in rural France because milk cows would come up to their hiding spots, crying to be milked (going unmilked is painful for dairy cows).

Cows are super curious by nature. Milked/Unmilked probably doesn't matter.

The crying part is the difference.

They don’t really moo a lot when investigating. They will moo excessively when uncomfortable

That's really interesting. Never heard mention of this before
