"Alright folks I've got David Bevill on the front of my patrol car, we got a calf out in the middle of the highway, we're fixing to rope him right here," Belew said in the video.

The calf can be seen strolling along the highway between a pair of police cars as Bevill readied his lasso and managed to rope the cow in one try.

Belew stopped the car and shouted for Bevill to tie the calf to the front of his vehicle so it could be safely removed from the road.
