Geocache Description:

Cows have been with us since the early Neolithic period, occupying an important role in our development as a society and culture. This is in tribute to that ubiquitous bovine that has made such an important contribution to the history of the wild, wild, west, including some of histories more famous mavericks .

All caches are along the frontage road and are not accessed from the freeway.


This Italian breed is a 25,000-year-old splice of two completely different breeds: the European Auroch and Pakistani Zebu. The breed was brought to North America in 1979.
Piedmontese are more muscular, disease resistant, and hardy than most beef cows. Due to a genetic abnormality, they are capable of developing muscle at an unrestricted rate, and with 14% higher muscle mass than most cattle, are considered double muscled. Piedmontese milk is also a primary ingredient in several Italian cheeses.
