Stray cows a lesson that RCMP help the community in the small ways
A pair of wayward cows had to be wrangled back to their home Tuesday morning in south Red Deer.
The two bovines had made it through a gap in a fence along Barrett Drive in the Bower neighbourhood and were wandering around the grassy area on the side of the road.
RCMP say they didn’t stray into traffic and the owner was called to come get them. It’s suspected someone had created a hole in the fence in order to allow people to move through the area, though not with the intent of letting the cattle loose.
Cst. Warren Cheng was the first Mountie on scene at around 9 a.m. and says dealing with livestock on the lam is not so different from responding to a crime scene.
