A mob of cattle

The prompt for today is “mob” and I am desperate for an escapist photo. The internet informs me that a group of cattle can be called a mob.

Imagine those six youngsters advancing on you with no fence between them and you!

I met these six thugs a couple of years ago while on a hike and at this point I didn’t know what their intentions were. But they kept coming closer and closer until I turned tail and hid behind a tree, even considered climbing up.

Choosing this picture was inspired by a famous photo of a different mob – scroll down, it’s the second photo illustrating the article, alternatively use picture search in a search engine and look for Chandoha The Mob:

Maybe an Australian blogger can add a photo of a proper mob – I believe that the collective noun for kangaroos is also a mob.
