Cows Flee Trailer As Their Driver Pulls Into McDonalds
Gotta feel sorry for the driver. Not only did he have to spend time trying to round up the cattle, but he found himself in the clutches of a couple of wise cracking law enforcement types.


WEST HAVEN, Utah — McDonald's? The burger joint? Stampede! Eight cows escaped from a trailer when the rear gate opened as the driver pulled into a McDonald's. It took about two hours to round them up Monday.

"Maybe they were going to ... hop in the freezer, save the middleman," Weber County sheriff's Sgt. Dave Creager said.

Lt. Kevin Burns had another theory: "They didn't like their future."

The roundup was called "Operation Hamburger Helper." A nearby resident even hopped on his horse.

"I thought my eyes were lying," said Wayne Sanders, who was at a truck stop next door. "I don't know where they came from, but I'd say they'd have to weigh 800 pounds apiece and they were on a pretty good trot."

This same thing...
Happened a couple of years ago in East Dallas where the I-635 loop crosses I-30.

A bull rack overturned due to cattle moving around and the film crew for the evening news caught about 8-10 cows cruising through a local Barbeque joint parking lot.

I thought the same thing about the cows not wanting to end up on the evening menu.
