Island Cows

Special | 4m 47s

The Rowe family gathers every spring to ferry beef cattle to their summer pasture.

How many families wear rubber boots and cowboy hats to their annual reunion? Well, four generations of the Rowe family do. Why? They're dressing for the annual "cattle crossing." During this long and crazy day, they load beef cattle onto their home-made ferry and move them across a narrow stretch of the Fox River to the Rowe family's island.
