Cow on the lam(b) by in View All Posts, April 1st, 2009

She managed to spend that entire time on the run, traveling about 60 miles all told, hanging out in a paintball field and stealing hay here and there, before being brought to an animal sanctuary in Norfolk.

As one of her eventual protectors puts it, “She is quite a cow, she remained free by finding some really good hidey-holes.”
