A LOOSE herd of cows were causing a 'moo-sance' of themselves on a busy road.
But police officers were soon on hand to lead the cows back to their pastures in Hartlepool on Saturday night.
On Facebook, Hartlepool's Neighbourhood Police team said: "Police in Hartlepool this evening were called to a high-steaks incident whereby a herd of cows made a great escape on to Brenda Road causing a potential beef with road users.
"Officers hoofed it to the area and were in a stew to find over 20 bovines causing a moo-sance in the area of Tofts Road.
"The owner of the cows was alerted thanks to the power of Facebook and eventually the cattle lead back to their pastures.
"I think we can all agree that the officers involved are all experts in their field and deserve a pat on the back for their udderly brilliant work."
