OMAHA Homeowners across the Heartland woke up on Wednesday expecting damage left behind from Tuesday nights storms.
Laura Fisher and her husband live near 60th and McKinley. They expected to find downed limbs, instead they found three cows.
He looked over here and says, What? said Fisher. Weve had deer out here. Weve had wild turkeys, but weve never had cows!
Wednesday morning they did. Not only did they have cattle in their backyard, but they didnt feel like leaving. Fisher told WOWT 6 News that it was a comical sight. Her husband tried to prod the cows to leave, but instead they made their way to the front yard and started eating her bushes.
