A group of wranglers were called to corral an escaped cow that was running along Interstate 75 in Michigan on Sunday, according to Michigan State Police.
The cow was initially stuck in a gravel pit on Belford Road near I-75 in Holly Township. Wranglers called troopers to assist in case the cow escaped and made a run for the highway, and thats exactly what the animal did.
A video shared by MSP Second District shows wranglers on ATV and horseback chasing the cow along the side of the highway before it entered the northbound lanes. The trooper used his vehicle to block traffic behind the running cow, allowing a wrangler on horseback to lasso the animal.
“Eventually after much tom foolery, the critter was captured and removed from the freeway,” MSP Second District tweeted alongside the video. “Troopers reopened the freeway and things quickly got back to normal. The bovine was not charged and is back in the pasture with a story to tell all the other livestock.”
