It certainly wasn't a typical day in the Plainview area, as the Plainview Police Department shared on their Facebook page this afternoon! Evidently, a herd of cattle decided they needed to go somewhere. Perhaps they just needed to "come home!" In any case, they chose to use Highway 42 between Plainview and Elgin as their route to get there!

As you can see in the photos they posted, the cows were very obedient to traffic laws, staying in their lane, heading the proper direction and even obeying the speed limit, I'm sure.

Check out one of the photos for yourself right here:

Don't worry. None of the cows were hurt and the police department helped to get them safely off the road and to their destination!
