Put your hooves where I can see them!
A runaway cow led police on an unusual chase through a New York town, even evading an officer’s attempt to lasso her as she raced along a roadway.
Maggie, a 4-year-old Highland cow, escaped from Little Cabin’s Farm in Carmel on Tuesday and spent the weekend roaming through the quiet Putnam County suburb, News12 reported.
Video obtained by the outlet showed the animal bounding down a road while startled witnesses shouted from their vehicles and police followed close behind.
“Holy sh-t! It’s a cow!” one person can be heard shouting. Another exclaimed, “Oh my god, he’s running straight at my car.”
An officer eventually managed to stop Maggie after trying to lasso her in the roadway, according to the outlet.
Little Cabin’s Farm said Maggie, who originally came from Massachusetts, is now safe and back with her calf after her brief escape into the wild.
“She got a little freaked out and jumped out and went to the woods, so we were behind her for four days,” farm co-owner Marianna Brophy told the outlet.
