Default Hit a Cow
My buddy bought a new road king so we went for a ride the other evening on our way home we saw four cows in the middle of the road. I couldn't get it shut down hit one of the cows in the hind quarter flew over my bike and the cow but needless to say I walked away from it and am thanking God because it could have been alot worse and glad my buddy got his bike shut down.

Glad you are OK.
Can you get the farmer/rancher to cover your deductible?
I would think hitting a cow would be different than hitting a deer.

My cousin years ago hit a cow at 60mph, he was in the hospital for 3 months, it is nothing to joke about that is for sure..
Glad you were not hurt too bad.

That sucks. We have the cows around here wander out onto the highway sometimes and once or twice there have been fatalities caused by them.

You can sue the farmers but they're usually poor anyway.
