I’ve been wanting to get a photo of this sign for years. We pass it every time we drive through the Flint Hills to get to Wichita, which we were doing at least once a year even before The Boy started college there.
It’s pretty likely I have a really stupid sense of humor…but here are just a few of the questions/comebacks that run through my mind when I see this highway sign:
- All the cows I know prefer pencils.
- Cattle can’t even read. How are they supposed to know where to go to get their pens?
- Cattle have terrible handwriting – there is no sense making a special place for them to get pens.
- There’s no way cattle can hold pens – they don’t even have opposable thumbs!
There. I’ve got it out of my system.

Hahahaha! Too funny. My first thought was why would someone need directions to the cattle pens. Wouldn’t one just follow their nose?

Oooh, that’s a good thought. Strangely, I’ve never seen a significant number of cattle anywhere near those pens. And I don’t know exactly what they are, though I have heard that truckers who haul cattle have to stop and let them out at certain intervals… It’s a mystery.

Maybe it’s a rest stop for cows? However, I believe they poop and pee where they stand whether it’s in a trailer or a pasture.
