Cows go roaming at OSU campus

COLUMBUS AP) — Two cows got loose on the Ohio State University campus, leading some students to cut classes to watch a roundup that lasted more than 90 minutes.

Police say the pair of Belted Galloway beef cows got away Wednesday afternoon as their owner was trying to take them into the university’s veterinary medical center to have their hooves trimmed.

They made their way onto a soccer field, where one of them was lassoed as students cheered “Ole!”

But the other ran across traffic on a bridge and settled in under a grove of trees. Its flight was ended by a Columbus Zoo veterinarian who was called to the scene by police and fired a tranquilizer dart.

The owner took the cows back home. A police officer was treated for a shoulder injury.
