REDMOND, Wash. — Have you ‘herd?’ The King County Sheriff’s Office says a pair of Scottish Highland cows escaped their yard.
During the afternoon of March 31, deputies were called to English Hill in Redmond to help wrangle Bracken and his pregnant girlfriend named Thistle.
“Luckily the happy couple started moooooooving and herded in the right direction,” the department said.
Deputies followed closely behind to make sure the couple didn’t make a break for it.
“We had no beef about helping as there was so much at ‘steak’ here,” the department joked online. “Like the gate latch, this was an open-and-shut case.”
Have you herd? Recently, a pair of Scottish Highland Cattle escaped from their yard and hoofed it out in the roadway. King County deputies were called to help guide them back home. Ultimately, Bracken and Thistle were steered in the right direction by deputies, but not before a quick stop to a neighbor's yard, in search of greener pastures. We had no beef about helping as there was so much at steak here. Like the gate latch, this was an open and shut case.
