Cattle loose on I-65, authorities have no beef

Some days I love my state!

Yeah I know, not really a "conspiracy," not some earth-shattering disclosure, but I thought this story was absolutely hilarious! So I'm sharing it. Hopefully it will provide a little relief from the doom and gloom.

Cattle loose on I-65, authorities have no beef

MORGAN COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — Several calls were made to the Decatur Police Department and the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office Tuesday morning, but the reason was for something a little unorthodox.

Around 20 cows were roaming near Interstate 65 just south of the Tennessee River Bridge, causing quite a disturbance for drivers. The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office joked that the cows were indeed not part of the bridge inspection process.

Here's a quick video clip of the news: Beware of cattle near I-65 south of Tennessee River Bridge

So apparently someone made a mis-STEAK and their cows had to be MOO-ved off the Interstate.

The last line in that excerpt I posted has to do with the fact that the Tennessee River Bridge near Decatur is currently undergoing inspection by ALDOT.

I don't know, there's just something comforting to me when even in this day of high-tech, over-controlled, surveillance-riddled idiocy, a major Interstate is still at the whim of hamburger on the hoof. Call me weird.

Hard to stomach that way, I would have thought authorities would bite into this case, and if only for the moo-d of the citizens.

Somebody? I have seen several intact people bulls hitting on conspiracy boards skimming the milk on this story for jokes. Re-veals a lot about the current world, as we're not currently plowing through enough ridiculousness.

It be-hooves you to stop before you alarm the herd.

I agree, I behaved like... neat! Still waiting for FCD to hit the thread and cow belling us all back with his backgrounded background in all this.

It seems to me the OP has a stake in this incident.

I want everyone to remember, this is a cattle herd wandering the Interstate something like 15 miles from where they developed the MOAB, NASA research facilities, and one of the most advanced engineering Universities in the country!

I love Alabama!
