MADISON, WI - Sure, police K-9 units get a ton of (well-deserved) credit for their law enforcement prowess, but when it comes to ending a long car chase, not much is going to top a herd of cattle.
The Barron Co. Sheriff’s Department thanked its “Bovine Unit” for stopping the pursuit, which lasted approximately 13 miles and stretched from Barron to Cumberland.
Deputies were chasing a Chevrolet Cavalier, the department explained on its Facebook page, when the driver came upon a group of cows standing in front of him.
“That little Cavalier that could during the chase ran out of steam encountering this moooving blockade,” the department wrote, not missing the opportunity for a little cow-pun.
“Job well done tonight crew.”
The sheriff’s department did not say what sparked the chase; however, it did note that the driver was taken into custody and spent the night in jail. It added that none of the cows, nor any person was injured in the pursuit.

I can’t see enough of their ‘undercarriage’ to be sure. ;)

They look like they expect there to be some hay bales in the car.

Don’t you guys feed your cattle?
I own Charolais/Angus mixes usually
and mine are a lot healthier looking
and bigger than those.

I’ve owned a Cavalier. Scrawny is more than good enough to stop one.

Those cows look like a mix of Jersey, Holsteins, Guernseys and maybe some Brown Swiss. Very skinny, poor things. Would dairy farmers have a herd of many breeds or are these steers? Whatever, they need much better care than they are getting.
