25 Loose Cows Rounded Up In Plumstead Township

PLUMSTEAD TOWNSHIP, PA ? Residents in the Carriage Hill and Patriots Ridge neighborhoods got quite the surprise Wednesday morning when a herd of cows wandered through their communities.

It appears the herd got loose from a field on Worthington Road and decided to take a look around the neighborhood drawing all sorts of attention on social media and producing a rather humorous Ring Doorbell photo of a cow peering at the front door of a home.

The episode of "find the cows" began around 6 a.m. with a call to police reporting the stray herd and a Facebook posting seeking the public?s help in finding them.

?Plumstead friends: 25 loose heifers this morning. Last seen at Hennessy Park. Please call me if seen or Plum police. Don't know where they are.?

The thought of wandering cows immediately lit up social media with many offering support and others milking the situation with bad puns.

?If you see the cows in the road, please carefully mooooove around them. It could be an udder tragedy. Sorry to milk the joke a bit,? one person posted.

At 9 a.m., the owners posted an update: ?Still not found. Yearling dairy cows, black and white or brown and white. Last seen around Carriage Hill or Patriots Ridge.?

With the help of the Plumstead Department and eyewitness accounts, the herd was rounded up
before 11 a.m. and returned to their field after their morning on the town.

?We have them all home safe,? reported the owners. ?Waiting on a head count, so there could be one still wandering around. If anyone sees one on a camera around Carriage Hill or Patriots Ridge please reach to me or call the Plum Police Dept. Thank You!!?

The final cow found its way home and reports are that all the cows are safe and accounted for and back in their field grazing on sweet tasting fresh grass.
