Breaking News: Manager Cowboys have just announced the resignation of the head coach because….
Two escaped cows have been causing big problems on an Oklahoma woman’s property and it’s been going on for two years now.
The cows first got loose after a trailer accident back in 2022.
The two cows were finally caught after cowboys and their dogs chased them for nearly 20 miles.
After multiple attempts by sheriff’s deputies to wrangle the cows in Brenda Stapleton’s yard and neighborhood, authorities told her she was going to have to hire professional cowboys.
“Who’s got money for that? And it shouldn’t be my responsibility to do that,” Stapleton said.
For two years, the cows would come into Stapleton’s yard, leave a mess, cause damage and even get right up to her window.
Bill Inhofe of Sooner Emergency Services worked that original wreck along I-244.
He figured the ones they couldn’t catch had passed away.
“I was shocked when I seen y’all’s article on the news the other night,” Inhofe said.
So, he called Stapleton to help, along with three dogs and three cowboys, like Clue Anderson.
“It pays a little to buy some dog feed, but it’s a just big sport,” Anderson said. “We enjoy it.”
After leaving feed out, the dogs track the cows’ scent and the cowboys track the dogs’ collars.
“When they found the cows, the dogs were yelping,” Inhofe said. “So the cowboys can look on their phone and know right where that cow is. And then go in, break out of the brush, throw a rope on it and bring it to the trailer.”
Inhofe stood by to follow in the trailer to get them loaded up.
Collar trackers showed the dogs chased them a total of 19 miles, but eventually, they tired the cows out.
The challenge for the cowboys was getting them out of the wooded area to lasso.
“You could only ride but at a slow pace, the briars stopping your horse even besides trying to drag you off,” Anderson said.
Inhofe stressed that getting the cows is important for public safety, especially so close to a turnpike.
“Car’s gonna hit ‘em or a motorcycle. It could be bad,” Inhofe said.
Surprisingly, it’s bittersweet for Stapleton if only they stayed out of her yard.
“I’m sad to see them go. I got used to talking to them on a daily basis and trying to befriend them,” Stapleton said. “I’m disappointed I didn’t get to.”
