This morning it was back to business. The usual run Tues. and Thurs. mornings is Ben to school, Spencer to work, Matt to pre-k, today we added taking our visitors to the airport. It was quite a long ride in the car today!
Along Compton Road, which is quite busy, we saw some baby cows that had gotten out of the fence! I was afraid that they were going to get into the road. I drove up to the house to find another Good Samaritan trying the back door. No one was home! He went to talk to the neighbor and I drove down to the side of the road and put my hazards on. I really didn't know what else to do! I contemplated trying to get them back in through whatever hole they had gotten out of but, could not see where they had possibly fit through the fence.
The other gentleman gave up when the neighbors offered no options. I felt extremely silly when I called the police department to report "cows in the road"! I actually started to laugh and then had to apologize and tell them I was being serious! Caitlyn and I waited to for the Sheriff Dept. to come. Meanwhile, what I can only think to call a ranch-hand, come out of nowhere and started to round the cattle up and force them back into the fence.
Anti-climatic, I know but did this Cali-girl ever think she would be considering rounding up cattle and calling the police about cows? I gotta answer NO, to that!

LOL! This is funny- and you are a very good person for doing this. I'm afraid I'd just drive on by.
Bryan should have "commented" about getting/not getting cows to go where you want them to. In my 6 1/2 years as a dispatcher, I took numerous calls for loose cows. In fact, one of the city officers actually hit one with his patrol car one night---bet that sucked. The county I worked in had some pretty rural area out toward the Great Salt Lake so a local cop hitting a cow was bound to happen sooner or later.
