This genuine CalTrans highway sign is located at the intersection of SR-178 and the Old Kern Canyon Road and faces west down the canyon. Contributor Alison Sheehey reports that the original sign was installed to warn motorists that cows could fall onto the road from the hills above. "The hillside slopes are free-range grazed and some are quite steep. After rains they get really slick as well. I know of one cow falling directly onto a car, and I have heard of it happening two other times. The more frequent occurrence is when cows slip off the hillside and fall onto the road injuring themselves, and cars run into them." According to Sheehey, the original sign was stolen almost immediately, and someone has placed cow stickers on the replacement sign.

we drove Kern Canyon westbound in November. Maybe it is only on that eastern end?

So the replacement sign didn't have the cow?

For cows' sake, put up barriers on the hillside!

That sign does nothing to solve the issue.

Those cows need to roll free on the range.
" I be rollin, they be hatin"

Fit parachutes to all the cows!

Rollin' rollin' rollin', keep those dogies movin', heifers rolling down the ... hillside

I don’t think they fall; I think they’re thrown.

If a cow blocks the road, is it a jersey barrier?

Better mooove out of the way if you see a falling cow.

I hate the falling rock signs, just top tier buck passing. What am I suppose to do? Stare out the of the sunroof and speed up if I see any boulders coming down?

 

[IronWing]

I don’t think they fall; I think they’re thrown.

They start out as chuck steak and end up as ground round.

I don’t think they fall; I think they’re thrown.

Catapulted over the ramparts!

In Monta-aa-aa-ana, it would be falling sheep...from those ewes who didn't push back...
