DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — While most of the other local police departments were dealing with snow, ice and other winter storm problems, the DeKalb County Police Department had an udderly different problem -- Cows.

The department posted the pictures Saturday morning on Twitter of the 9 cows that were wandering on the roadway at Covington Highway and DeKalb Medical Parkway.

Officers “mooved” the cows off the road and finally corralled them at a Kroger parking lot using shopping carts. One cow made its way to a near by apartment complex. Officers later were able to secure it.

The cows' owner later arrived with a trailer and picked them up.
