Bullfrog Beef :)

[Docker]

Been here for 5 years and this is a first in Bullfrog Bay. Looks like one of the herds made it down to the water from HWY 276 haha

They were even in the Northwest side of bullfrog bay. Most be easier to get over there with the water so low.

I’d rather see them there than on the road when I’m driving in after dark....

I have spent some time on Lakes that cattle can roam on the beaches............the beaches are disgusting.

The density of cattle allowed by BLM/NPS in the Lake Powell area is pretty small(for good reason). We are good friends with the rancher who holds the lease from Fry Canyon to Hite. We've only seen about 8 cows anywhere near the lake in the last 10 years. I don't think you have to worry too much about them making a mess of the "beaches". Now Houseboaters, that's another story.

Well said.

While working for Aramark as a marine mechanic for the houseboat fleet I was dispatched to a houseboat full of tourists from N.J.. They had spent the entire night awake and in fear of the "wolves" that were staring at them all night. As soon as dawn came the "wolves" showed themselves. 5 cows.

There were a lot of large bulls roaming around Gregg Basin at Lake Mead last time I was there. I would bet the rancher gave up on them and they had gone wild. Trying to herd wild bulls many miles back to a road could be an exercise in futility.

Bulls gone wild can be rather dangerous. That is one reason why cowboys in the old west carried pistols. They sometimes had to shoot attacking bulls.

Why its just used grass After you work cattle for a little while you think nothing of stepping in it.

The only way I work my cattle is with a knife and fork

Ain't that the truth!

A number of years ago there was a Bio Hazard marker in the May Tag Straights up stream from AP..
The consensus was that it was from cattle run off. It was one of those little beach areas on the right before
you get to Navajo Canyon.

Nothing better than watching your kids play with Cow Pies at the waters edge........................;
