Years ago, the cows that you see roaming the cliffs at block used to use the bluffs on the cove as a jumping off point. Normally the weakest of the herd would jump, or be pushed off by other cows to be smashed on the rocks below. It's amazing how the block island cow population has a way of regulating itself.

When the Island was settled they used the shallow water of "cow cove"
to land livestock there mostly cows. They pushed them off the boat and cows swam rest of way in... One of the people on that boat was my ancestor Trustrum Dodge... Although he was technically not a settler of the Island the settlers agreed to give himland to stay and teach them to fish... A lil history lesson for ya all....  |

Makes sense as it's prolly the flatest part of the island except maybe Crescent
beach.
Are the Dodge Cottages still standing? Last time i was over the Cutting Cottages had been
replaced by condos.  |
