Cow On The Loose: NJ Police Answer A 'Legend-Dairy' Call
"Steaks" were high when Stafford police got an interesting call on Wednesday — a cow on the loose.
STAFFORD, NJ — Here's a "moo-d" lifter for the morning. You can't make this stuff up, as Stafford police said, after one of their officers responded to a unique call — a cow on the loose on Hilliard Avenue.
"She's busy assaulting a mailbox," the officer said as his bodycam captured the cow scratching its head and licking a mailbox that then fell over.
"Moo cow!" The officer was heard shouting and laughing as the young animal wandered away.

It was not clear how or why the cow was out — maybe feeling emboldened by the new Chick-fil-A in Manahawkin — but you can check out the video below and see it for yourself, courtesy of the Stafford Township Police Department.
