Livestock Etiquette

What do you get if you cross an angry sheep and a moody cow? An animal that’s in a baaaaaaaad moooooood. All jokes aside, you may encounter both animals along West Mountain Road this fall. Here are a few tips on how to interact with these animals.
  • The sheep are typically protected by Great Pyrenees or other working sheep dogs. They are not pets, they take their job seriously!
  • Mountain bikers should dismount from their bikes.
  • Walk your bike through the sheep and then continue on your ride.
  • Keep your pets on a leash.
  • If the working dogs approach you, talk to them and let them know you are a human and not a threat.
  • Approach cattle very slowly and give them time to move off the trail.
  • If a cow runs down the trail in front of you, stop and wait, and let the animal move off the trail.
  • If you see anyone harassing cattle, wildlife or wild horses, please notify the BLM or the Forest Service.
