Caught on camera, cows break free from their Bucks County farm and ran loose in a quiet neighborhood.
The Brief
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. - A herd of cows was on the MOOve in Doylestown on Wednesday morning.
The Curly Hill farm has been in the Worthington family since the Civil War, without many problems. But Tuesday night’s storms scared some young cows, causing them to break through two fences and storm out, causing a real ruckus in town.
Dozens of yearling dairy cows were caught on camera making their way through Carriage Hill and Patriots Ridge in Doylestown Wednesday morning.

Dozens of yearling dairy cows were caught on camera making their way through Carriage Hill and Patriots Ridge.
Young Bucks for Hire posted a video showing 25 cows on the loose, before sharing an update that the cows were all "home safe" a couple of hours later.
What they're saying:
"It was just bizarre! It was crazy, I didn’t even know they were around here!" exclaimed Doylestown resident Sean Hynes.
Holy cow! Not something one typically sees every day on the streets of Doylestown.
Hynes commented, "No not at all, not in this neighborhood."
Rebecca Worthington said, "When we were driving around asking people if they had seen any cows, they were really confused!"
What we know:
25 cows from the Curly Hill Farm escaped and wandered out, some venturing into a quiet neighborhood. The owners were sick with worry.
Annette Worthington explained, "These cows are like our children. They are the future of the herd, so they’re worth a lot to us and we wanted to get them back safely and not have anything happen to them."
So many people started calling for help so the Worthington’s sprang into action.
Timeline:
One brazen bovine named Taffy went right up to someone’s door, but finally the family corralled the cows with a trailer and brought them back to the farm. Or so they thought.
"As soon as the last one walked on the trailer, I let out a sigh of relief and then we got home and counted and found we were missing one," Annette remarked.
A farmer used a drone to find the last little lady hiding on another farm about 3 o’clock.
"They’re all relaxed, they’re all fed. They’re relaxing, chewing the cud, took their little naps and they just had dinner," Annette said.
"So, all is right with the world?" FOX 29’s Ellen Kolodziej asked.
"Now it is, yes!" Annette replied.
Big picture view:
So, again, all the cows came home safely. They’re resting and the family just wants to thank all the community for their help.
