Just A Normal Day On Michigan Backroads

If you live more in the "country" here in Michigan, things like this really just make you say "ope, just another Tuesday."

Getting stuck behind a tractor on your way home from work,  the smell of manure as you pass by multiple farms and, of course, the occasional loose livestock.

One Google search of "cows escaping in Michigan" brings up plenty of results, including this video of one running down a Michigan highway!

So what makes this story and these cows so special?

Sheriff's Deputy Walks Cows Home

The eight cows were spotted blocking a road in the Mason area on July 9th, three miles from home.

Of course, though, it's not enough to just tell you about this MOO-ving story and that's why the Ingham County Sheriff's office also shared this dashcam footage on their Facebook Page:

Of course, not everyone can just keep a cow as a pet but here are some other animals that are perfectly legal to do that with:
