"There is an interesting story about how the Cowpasture and neighboring rivers the Bullpasture River and Calfpasture River came to be so named."

I'd love to know the source of that story. Never heard it before, but the names are intriguing. Pfly 05:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cowpasture name origin

There are several different stories about how the names developed. I have heard this one all my life. However on the highland county historical society website they have another version.
