A happy ending to a high steaks situation.
STACY, Minn. — The Chisago County Sheriff’s Office had the udderly difficult task of wrangling rogue cows on Interstate 35 near Stacy Tuesday morning.
According to a post on the department’s Facebook page, the cows were spotted at a nearby Kwik Trip before hoofing it over to the Sunrise Estates Trailer Park.
After a quick tour of the grounds, the batch of bovine explorers mooo-ved east toward I-35.
“Deputies attempted to corral them but they planned on milking this for all it was worth,” the post said. “All joking aside, this could have been a bad situation if a car struck one of them at 70mph (you are only going 70 right?).”
But the Chisago County first responders wouldn’t be made a laughing stock. With the help of Minnesota State Patrol, Wyoming Minnesota police and a real, professional cow wrangler, the sheriff’s office was able to contain the cattle between the cable barriers along the interstate. Then they were loaded into a trailer and removed from the freeway.
It was a high steaks situation with a happy ending, though we still don’t know who these cows had beef with before attempting their butchered great escape.
