Cow on I-75 in Holly Stops Traffic, is Lassoed to Safety (video)
(Crystal A. Proxmire, May 22, 2023)
Holly, MI – Michigan State Police are used to chasing suspects, but chasing a cow – especially on a busy freeway – is a little bit more rare. But that’s what happened Sunday near Belford Road in Holly Township.
The cow had been stuck in a gravel pit at the freeway’s edge. Wranglers had been trying to lasso the cow when it darted onto the Northbound lanes of I-75.
Michigan State Police Troopers stopped traffic in both directions while the cowboys did their work, eventually bringing the cow to safety without any injuries. Michigan State Police released a video of the runaway cow and the wranglers.
And we know that if there are no pictures or video it didn’t happen…. pic.twitter.com/9QLgwciYAs
