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.
