Hey Heather, what I want to know is, what side should the cattle pin their # on? ;-)

Almost all of the eastern oregon cattle are true vegans (not like the cattle in the huge midwest feedlots that get animal protein in their feed) so those cowpies are probably a more sanitary smear on the lycra than average road gunk we get thrown on us riding around the metro area. Were those Cat 1 or 2 cattle? Sounds like it was really funny!

The rules do address this pretty clearly. Then there is the unexpected.
At one of the first Elkhorn races we were doing Dooley mtn on the last day in the reverse direction. As we came screaming down the descent and onto the plains there was a herd of cattle that was being moved from one side of the road to the other. I mean 100+ cows across both lanes of traffic!
We all pulled over. We luckily had timed the gaps between the break and after 5 min or so we restarted the race. It really was quite the sight.
