It was also bordered by the BNSF and they only hit 1 cow, but nontheless they still had to pay for it. Also, I know a guy who hit one with his 1995 Ford Powerstroke, It rippend the front end apart, tore out the engine, transmission, and front axle. He not only had to buy a new truck, but had to pay for the cow. RJ "Something hidden, Go and find it. Go and look behind the ranges, Something lost behind the ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go."

If that state has the same laws that Wyoming does, which is most likley the case.... UP has to pay for this accident, weather or not they got loose, or it was open range or other. They must pay for each beef, and every calf that the each cow would have had in her lifetime. This is the case with highway accidents as well, if your car were to hit a cow, you must pay for the cow, and every calf that it may have had, as well as all the repairs to your vehicle.
