Residents of the Irish midlands town of Bailieborough, Cavan, were shocked to find a herd of cattle roaming through the town’s main street after they broke out of a nearby field on Wednesday, January 31.

According to local veterinarian Amanda Hanratty, who shared a clip of the cattle to Facebook, the herd broke loose from a nearby paddock and roamed down the town’s main street.

Fortunately for the herd, Hanratty said they got home “safe and sound”.

The clip had earned over 34,000 views at the time of writing. Credit: Facebook/Amanda Hanratty Vets & Pets via Storyful
