Mayor Bill Boyd of Stoystown, Pennsylvania appears to be a full service politician. Not only does he do the mayoral duties, but he's also willing to round up a herd of cows.
Mayor Bill Boyd was first on the scene, honking his horn at the nine bulls, cows and calves that were plodding along, barely 100 yards from Main Street in the borough of just over 400 people about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
"Two of them had pretty good horns on them," Boyd told the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat. "It's the first time I've known a mayor to get involved in cattle wrangling."
Boyd got eight of the critters to stop, but the ninth just kept moseying toward the main drag.
Conemaugh Township Police Officer Nathan Claycomb joined the mayor in trying to head the stubborn animal off at the pass.
The article says that the owner of the cows has not been found. Sounds like time for a barbecue. I wonder if the mayor can cook?
If he, the mayor of a community of 400 people, didn’t personally know the owner of 10 local cows, he should be run roughshod out of his little town.
Help! Send fresh hay. This jail food is terrible!
