As Southeastern Arizona folklore goes, the Wild Cows of Mexico crossed the border under the cover of darkness avoiding border fences, border patrol and Governor Jan Brewer. Taking to the hills they have survived on tumbleweed, mesquite leaves and an occasional nut or berry. To date, they have not been allowed in American barns and although their calves are born American bovine their rights to cloven hoof health care and education is currently in jeopardy due to the threat they impose on the herds of American cattle in the area. Recently a program has been started to corral and ID all Wild Mexican Cattle. Despite their contribution of fertilizing Arizona's landscape they are to be immediately deported.
