The hills here many of them have a kind of wash board look from the years of cattle grazing. When the feed lots in the mid west got going big time, wheat farming and cattle went their separate ways. My neighbor has a few, but it is a rare thing here now. Oddly enough, I took a picture of some cattle at the U of I farm today.
