WeareCattle that got away found, returned

All four of the angus cattle that escaped their pen in Weare last week have been found.

Police said as of Saturday morning, the three black angus and one red angus were safely returned to their farm on Cram Road.

Two of the black angus and the red were found near the gate of another Weare cattle farm not far from the one they originally escaped from. The third black angus was found shortly after in the same area.

Police had some help from a couple of local farmers, Steve Roberts and Perry Dowest, rounding up the first three cows and getting them on a trailer. 

The cows went missing on the afternoon of May 1 about two hours after being delivered to a farm on Cram Road. Police would not say which farm they were being held in.
