Cows on the loose

[dolfan]

In Moulton, AL, where I live, the sheriff's department has just called to advise that as many as 15-20 cows are on the loose through town. They've asked us to tell customers going down either of the 2 highways in front of or behind our store to be careful, drive slowly, etc. I saw one cow on the side of the road, dead, where a good customer of ours had hit it and wrecked his truck, as I was on the way to the store tonight. One other was hit in front of our store and a new truck wrecked. Several times they've crossed our parking lot tonight. An 18-wheeler narrowly missed one behind our store. They're everywhere.



Someone please call Chik-fil-a and tell them we get the point.

Sounds like a Chik-Fil-A promotion!

Okay, here's the scoop. There's a sale barn about 1.5 miles from our store on a 4 lane highway. They had a cattle sale there tonight, and a guy had 22 cows and calves. He had them on a trailer, and somehow it got loose from his truck, rolled into the road and was actually not locked. Out came the cattle and they've scattered across town. They had captured 8 of them as of 9:55, and 1 dead (which is the one I saw ... it's still dead and still on the roadside as I came home). I spotted 2, and found one of the guys out on the hunt for them and told them where they were, and I slowly drove home with my high-beams on.

Shucks, wished I had a 16 ft trailer and was in your neck of the woods tonight. I'd volunteer to dispose of the "roadkill."

What prcoessing outfit would you suggest for that area Tim?

Need I ask who had the right of way? Having been to that sale barn many times, that four lane is wide open. Good vision for along way and unless at night. When I see live stock on or near the road I slow down and get prepaired to stop. Just some thoughts.

You may be right.

Weeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrd, man.

Sounds like a Netflix commercial:

Host: "Calfs escape a sale barn in Moulton, Alabama."
Contestant: "The same thing happens in Mississippi?"
