Nobody can catch an Eastern Kentucky cow that has roamed the streets of Prestonsburg for almost a week.
Described as “a very active cow,” the heifer is believed to have made the trek from Johnson County to Floyd County. The mobile bovine started showing up on security cameras Sunday night. Even more remarkably, the cow is minding all local laws.
“As we’ve tracked it, it has minded road rules and stayed on the shoulder,” Prestonsburg police said. “She also browsed our downtown local shops from the street on her way through and seems impressed.”
After four days, the cow has still evaded capture. How? It makes absolutely no sense.
It isn’t the first time animals on the loose have made headlines. One of the more exhilarating stories I ever covered as a student journalist involved a loose steer on UK’s campus. A member of the rodeo team had to lasso the beast that caused traffic problems on Cooper Drive.
Floyd County High School probably doesn’t have a rodeo team waiting to respond to all loose cattle calls, but somebody’s gotta be able to contain the cow. There’s only one possible explanation: the Prestonsburg cow has only been seen on nighttime security cameras. The black cow must have transformed into a nocturnal beast in order to move swiftly from town to town throughout the night.
If Eric C. Conn could evade authorities for weeks, this cow will never be captured.

We had Zeke the zebra running wild and visiting pastures here in Bradley County TN a few years ago...he got around quite a bit before he was finally apprehended for his crimes...he was already wearing his prison outfit ...

When I was in New Delhi a few weeks ago, rouge cows were a common sight

We had a hormone-crazed cow escape from the feed lot at UC Davis, where a friend was manager. The cow had been artificially inseminated with semen from a brahma bull (I am NOT making this up!).
Apparently triggered by this date-rape, the cow managed to escape from the lot and made it across the overpass to an equestrian area where some equestriennes tried vainly to calm her down so she could be returned to her life as a sex slave.
Fearing the worst, the City of Davis SWAT team arrived and were forced to shoot Bossie when she continued to resist arrest. The fear was potential terrorist attacks against drivers along the nearby freeway.
