Police round up herd of cows on Indiana highway

Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Police were summoned to a stretch of Indiana highway when a herd of cows escaped from their owner's property and went for a walk in the roadway.

The LaPorte County Sheriff's Office said the herd of young calves escaped from their LaPorte County home and ran into the northbound lanes of U.S. 35, which they followed to U.S. 6 and continued east in the roadway.

Deputies worked with other first responders and members of the public to round up the cows and return them to their owner's property.

"The calves were successfully secured & reunited with each other following today's big adventure," the sheriff's office said. "On behalf of the owners, thank you to all the great citizens who assisted deputies earlier today."
