This is old news to those in Southwestern, Ohio, but I don't know if this made the wire services. It seems that several weeks ago, 1,200 pound cow jumped a 6 foot fence and got way from the herd that was destined for the slaughter house. The cow escaped to a nearyby city park, and remained hidden for ten days, despite search parties with heat sensing devices looking for her. The cow became the main focus of WLW Cincinnati talk radio for many days. Marge Schott, former owner of the Cincinnati Reds volunteered to adopt the cow, once found and let retire to her country estate. The cow was eventually caught and is now retired to a farm in New York state, where she can mix and mingle with other cows. Apparently, Marg did not have other cows on her property. Before leaving Cincinnati, the cow was given a key to the city during the ceremony and parade for the opening day of baseball. The cow was going to walk in the parade, but she got nervous and balky from all the noise and commotion.
