WATCH: Cattle Herded Through Fire By Wyoming Cowboys
Sheridan, Wyoming.
These cows are not sure what to do with this grass fire.
In a couple of cases, you'll see them walk right into it, feel the heat, then trot off.
Perhaps they might stomp out that grass fire between the horses and the cattle.
Either way, these cows need to be moved. They don't seem to know what to do by themselves.
Michelle Kane posted several videos on her Facebook page about how the kids came home from school to help.
In the next video, you'll see a few of the cows walk right into the flames and then trot off.
That must have hurt.
Those cows seem a bit upset and confused.
This would explain why so many cows can be lost in Wyoming's grass fires.
The riders and the horses keep the cow moving away from harm.
Watch for the family Border Collie as he lends a hand herding the cattle. You'll see him look back at the horse and rider to make sure he's pushing them in the right direction.
Next, we see the team push the cattle through an area of trees that has already been burned out.
That's a smart move.
There is not much to eat there but there is no chance that the fire will turn back and harm the cattle. Food and water can be brought to them.
Everything has already been burnt.

Cattle are sweet and mostly harmless animals.
But they are not all that smart.
They have been killed in mass numbers during winter storms.
They have no idea how to avoid a fire and their chard bodies are often found in some of the most unusual places.
