Warning signs

Cattle likely to be in road ahead

Cattle likely to be in road ahead sign

What it means

Cattle are herded across or along this road, usually near a farm and often around milking time. A herd can fill the road and take a while to clear. Slow right down, be ready to stop, and pass slowly and quietly with plenty of room; do not sound your horn, and follow any instruction from the herder.
