A cow that got loose from a farm was corralled after a chase involving a woman on a horse Wednesday morning, according to police.

East Bridgewater Police Officer Robert Lang at around 9 a.m. was driving through the area of Belmont and Summer streets when he spotted a woman on a horse chasing after a loose cow.

The cow’s owner also called police to alert them that her cow, named Boots, had gotten out of a corral from her farm on Summer Street.

East Bridgewater Police Deputy Chief Mike McLaughlin, Sgt. John Smith and Officers Joshua DeJesus, Matthew Monteiro and Patrick O’Brien responded to the scene, and assisted in helping corral the animal.

Officers and farm staff were able to safely capture the cow after about two-and-a-half hours toward the back of Beaver Cemetery using a rope lasso and food. The cow was guided onto a trailer and safely returned to the farm.

There were minor disruptions to traffic during the incident when the cow got near the road at Belmont and Summer streets. There was also minor damage caused to some lawns in the area.

Police Chief Michael Jenkins said in a statement, “I am happy to report that our officers were able to help safely capture the cow without injury to themselves or the animal.”
