Cows crash a backyard party
A herd of marauding cows crashed a backyard party in Massachusetts and drank up all the beer. Police said the cows escaped a farm and trudged en masse into a backyard, scaring away a crowd of young people drinking. “I could hear screaming coming from the back of the house,” said Lt. James Riter. As partygoers fled, he said, the cows “knocked the beer cans over with their noses and started drinking beer right off the table.” The herd was rounded up and sent home, Riter said, but not before one cow began nosing through cans in the recycling bin “to see if he could find any last drops in there.”
