A covert operation and a fresh layer of snow helped lead to capture of four cows in Quebec who had been on the run for months.
Martin Marcouiller, president of the regional chapter of the Union des producteurs agricoles, says the four runaways were reunited with their owner in St-Severe, Que., about 130 kilometres northeast of Montreal.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
Marcouiller says union members lured four of the heifers into an enclosed feeding area that had been set up to capture the animals in St-Severe, adding that fresh snowfall reduced the heifers’ food, leaving them desperate and hungry. He says the union will attempt another operation in the coming days to capture the remaining seven or eight animals on the lam.
