The cows left their home near US 35 and CR 500 South. The group ran through the northbound and southbound lanes of US 35.

Luckily, the off-duty officer was able to contact the owner and other deputies to help with the situation.

A small group of the calves was corralled into a fenced area near US 6 and CR 700 South, while a larger group ran eastbound on US 6 and Range Road.

Two groups entered the field near Range Road and CR 800 South. A smaller group of cows was corralled a short distance away on Range Road.

Deputies, owners, neighbors and several volunteer firefighters were able to secure the cows unharmed.
