Cow escapes onto verge of Staveley carriageway

By Helen Perkins, Reporter
MOTORISTS got a surprise after a cow escaped onto the verge of a carriageway.
Cumbria Police were called to the scene after the animal was spotted at 7.25pm, on Friday, at the side of the A591, at Staveley.
A local farmer managed to get the cow away from the east bound side of the road and back into its field.

Must have just built it overnight!!
If the little dog laughed, it was probably at the Gazette's reporting of late!

With all due respect to Helen, I don't see any mention of DUAL carriageway.
At least somebody is actually paying attention to this thread!

it's still in the meta data of the page, view source ;)
Well done - I would never have thought of looking there!
To be fair some drivers treat many parts of the A591 between Kendal and Windermere as if it were a dual carriageway - not just the Ratherheath stretch! :-(

Sometimes it can take ages to get across there.

I suppose since it was a cow and not a bull, it must have gone on the verge of the carriageway by miss steak?
Why do cows have horns?
To alert traffic when their horns don't work!

I haven't noticed it yet - and I drove that way twice on Sunday!
