However traffic came to a complete stop as efforts were made to bring the cows back into line.

The bovine which decided to take a turn on the highway was coaxed and cajoled to try and get her out of harms way.

However she seemed to be aware she was on the verge of being put back in her field and veered off the hard shoulder onto the other side of the road.

But she wasn’t having it. The cow then veered from one side of the roadway to the other, trying to avoid capture.

One lmade a plea saying: "Come get your cow if this is yours, please.”

Luckily she was eventually captured and no one was hurt.

After the first cow was caught, at least five more cows were seen making their way down to the turnpike but were stopped before they hit the highway.
