No, this sign isn't telling you to watch out for Bugs Bunny's nemesis Toro who "steamed up his tail", but a reminder that you are driving in "open range". From my few trips it appears that the main highways have approximately 150' of easement on either side with fencing running on both sides parallel with the highway. Any roads that join the highway have a "cattle grate" where they intersect the fencing. Smaller, less used roads may have a gate and at times just a loose loop of fencing stretched over a fence post. While all of these work very well I have seen one instance where cattle have gotten through the fence and were grazing peacefully on taller grass inside the easement.
