Cowboy on horseback wrangles runaway cow on busy Michigan highway (video screenshot)
(THE BLAZE) – A Michigan cowboy came to the rescue last weekend after a runaway cow escaped from a gravel pit and threatened drivers speeding down a busy highway.
It was almost three hours past high noon on Sunday when Michigan State Police said they received an unexpected call. The day was not especially hot or particularly dusty, and there was not a single tumbleweed to be found. But there was still danger afoot as a cow, which had escaped from an abandoned farm six weeks ago, was spotted in a gravel pit in Holly, Michigan, about an hour northwest of Detroit.

The male bovine, later identified as Lester, soon freed himself from the gravel pit and headed toward I-75, a busy interstate that extends from Michigan's Upper Peninsula all the way down to Florida. With John Wayne long gone and Clint Eastwood far from town, MSP troopers had to round up an usual posse, which included professional cow catchers Ricky Littlejohn and his fiancée, Trina Resendez, who live about 100 miles away.
