Analysis
The pilot said that he overflew the rwy twice to look for cattle. On the third approach during short final cattle began crossing the rwy in use. The pilot maneuvered to use the other rwy and stalled at about 25 ft AGL. Due to the acft's low alt & high surrounding terrain, a go-around was not possible.
