Here’s a news story about everyones’ favourite kind of cow. Runaway cows.

A herd of wandering cattle wrecked havoc in a neighborhood near Houston late Thursday. Harris County sheriff’s deputies said about 30 cows were found in the Villages of Bear Creek subdivision at about 10 p.m. The cattle escaped from a nearby farm. The runaway cows flattened mailboxes, trampled lawns and broke a sprinkler pipe, sending water shooting into the air. The cattle also left mud and manure all over the streets and driveways. Residents said they have seen cattle roaming through their neighborhood before. “This isn’t the first time this has happened,” resident Carl Scarborough said. “It’s happened about two or three times, so I mean it’s a usual thing. I mean we’re in Texas!” Deputies rounded the cattle up into a pen and took them to their livestock division, where their owner will have a chance to claim the cattle.
