CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The cows are at it again!
Two bulls that were on the loose in Lake County back in May managed to "wiggle out of 'cowstody' yet again" Wednesday morning in Lake County, according to police.
But don't have a cow, police said, as the animals' owners from a nearby farm were able to "get the cows to come home."
The two bulls were first spotted Wednesday near the area of Route 59 and Dering Lane, in unincorporated Lake Villa.
Later Wednesday morning, Lake County Sheriff's deputies found them in the water of one of the lakes. They took to Twitter to share the comical experience.
"Update: don't have a cow, these fellas just wanted to 'cowool' off, there's a heatwave coming after all! The owners are on the scene working to get the cows to come home!"
The owners arrived on scene, who managed to get the cows back into "cowstody."
Last time the cows were on the loose, WBBM Newsradio spoke to Lake County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Christopher Covelli, who said it's not uncommon in that area for animals to escape from farms and wind up along roads or in residential areas.
He said another bull escaped last year and charged at deputies, who were tracking the animal. Covelli said that's why deputies don't try to corral loose bulls themselves, but simply keep track of them until the owners or the county's animal control department can safely capture them.
