SUFFIELD, Conn. (AP) -- Police in a Connecticut town are reminding people to not open their doors to "any unfamiliar cattle" after a pair of cows escaped from their pen and were found near the front door of a home a couple of houses away.

Sgt. Geoffrey Miner tells WGGB/WSHM a driver reported seeing the cows walking on the side of a road and in yards in Suffield on Sunday morning

Steers or bulls - not cows. Apparently the these cops don’t know the difference.


Cops are not required to know the difference between steers or bulls. But even a city cop knows b.s. when he/she sees it.

I’d surmise that meat from dairy type cows, especially if old and being retired from the dairy “industry,” mostly end up in ground meat, i.e., hamburger of low grade, and processed meats such as bologna, stuffed into casings for slicing and making sandwiches.

OMG. Two heifers from Massachusetts and Connecticut escaped from their cells. Their names are Elizabeth Warren (aka Fauchohantas) and Laura DeRosa (aka The Evil Witch of Oz).

Do not approach!. Do not touch! THEY BITE (the big one).

Nice to see these small town cops have a sense of humor. It's rare. Kudos to them.

Holstein cows. Good old-fashioned cows; popular in New England for their good, reliable milk production.

True - but even dairy cows (those are Holsteins in the commercials) EVENTUALLY become hamburger, too!

Just like the REST of Society - they put us OLD GIRLS, ‘out to pasture’ when we’re no longer useful! ;)

Well, yes, they are sold when they can’t be breed and produce milk...The male calves are also sold for beef...Only a few bulls are kept for sperm production and most of the breeding is artificial insemination...
My deceased father in law was a breeder and a diary farmer...
My family worked strictly with beef....

We’ve raised a few beef steer through the years. Looking forward to doing it again. Nothing better!

Yup. Average retirement age for dairy cow is 5 years. And then there are the bulls which by pass any milking requirements and go to beef directly when ready.
