After months of reports of bovine escape artists lingering around the Wavey Lake Forest Service Road access, a wayward cow and calf made their presence known along Boultbee Road and in several cabin driveways early in November. Cattle are notorious for their prolific waste and these two uninvited guests did not hesitate to show their appreciation for all the fresh foliage they nibbled on along the road, their very own private and pristine pasture. Their appearance was probably just about the time they would have been brought in and taken home from the permitted range land on the north side of Highway 24. Earlier this Fall, a resident called the range office with the Ministry of Forest to report a bull on the highway. Apparently there are three permit holders for the range nearby and the range office needed a picture of the brand to positively identify the bull’s owner. Not surprising, it was impossible to find a resident willing to get that close to the huge bull, so presumably he – the bull – enjoyed a long, albeit lonely, month or so foraging along the highway, relatively undisturbed.
