McDonald’s? The burger joint? Stampede! Eight cows escaped from a trailer when the gate opened as the driver pulled into a McDonald’s. It took about two hours to round them up Monday.
“Maybe they were going to … hop in the freezer, save the middleman,” Weber County sheriff’s Sgt. Dave Creager said.
Lt. Kevin Burns had another theory: “They didn’t like their future.”
The roundup was called “Operation Hamburger Helper.” A nearby resident even hopped on his horse.
“I thought my eyes were lying,” said Wayne Sanders, who was at a truck stop next door. “I don’t know where they came from, but I’d say they’d have to weigh 800 pounds apiece and they were on a pretty good trot.”
