Unexpected neighborhood rodeo: Escaped dairy cows unleash 'udder' chaos

2. Ha! Cute.

Our neighbor's cows got out one below-zero January morning while they were at church. They were standing in the middle of the road realizing they couldn't go anywhere else because the ditches were full of snow.

Since my SO and I were pretty familiar with handling cows thanks to growing up on and around them, the two of us managed to convince the cows to get back into the barn. We locked them in, then went to our family event.

Neighbors eventually figured out it was us who put them back and they have been bringing us pies, veggies from their garden, and more in the decades since.

We live in the middle of nowhere, though, so that didn't make the news in the least.
