SHORTESS, Judge.
This personal injury suit arose from an accident in which a van apparently struck a cow on an “open-range” highway. Cora Roberts (plaintiff), a passenger in a vehicle owned and driven by George Godso, was injured. She brought suit against Godso’s insurer, Colonial Penn Insurance Company 1 and the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD). Her claim against DOTD was based on its failure to post “OPEN RANGE” or “STOCK AT LARGE” signs on La. 441 which traversed an area of open range in *428Livingston Parish. The trial court found for plaintiff and DOTD appeals.
