Cows were a more common sight 40 years ago in upper county. King Farm was once a dairy farm.

I used to live there and it was mostly dairy farms. Wonder how these cows knew that. We used to butcher where there is now high density housing. I moved to an area where most of the weekly sheriff's log is stray cow related and was amused by use of the 'weird news' heading.

With cow bringin' over $1000 a head sometimes, it's a wonder somebody didn't round 'em up for the $beef. There's a lot of money in that picture. I don't think it would be cattle rustling if you found them on your own place.

Hey Al if you did that Obama would want a cut. They were making an escape they found out what slaughter house meant. I don't blame them for breaking out.

What is so unusual about this? As long as there have been cows they have gotten lose onto roadways.

Joe, I think that these are the cows that were beamed up into alien space craft, observed and then beamed back down to earth....adjustment needed on the down beam...

Congratulations to Ms. Cranford, Ms. Peterson and Mr. Dyer on a strong showing. The one issue that I…Read More do hope you will consider during your term in office is the request that Ms. Adams had made about a playground in Whetstone Park. There realty does need to be some improvements made there, the old concrete animals are no longer fun to play on. My grandson asks me, “Grandpa, where are the slide and swings?” At least we now have a chance with these three board members.

The voters obviously made the right decision. These three have proven themselves with their…Read More previous activities within the Village. I concur with LenGray's comment above regarding different children's amenities available at Lake Whetstone. If swings and other play equipment were there, it could be used almost year round which a volleyball sand pit has limited use, and I can't even remember the last time I saw someone playing volleyball there. How about some benches for the adults to sit and watch their children play on good old fashioned swings and slides?
