WEST HAVEN, Utah - McDonald's? The burger joint? Stampede! Eight cows
escaped from a trailer when the rear gate opened as the driver pulled
into a McDonald's. It took about two hours to round them up Monday.

"Maybe they were going to ... hop in the freezer, save the middleman,"
Weber County sheriff's Sgt. Dave Creager said.
Lt. Kevin Burns had another theory: "They didn't like their future."
The roundup was called "Operation Hamburger Helper." A nearby resident
even hopped on his horse.
"I thought my eyes were lying," said Wayne Sanders, who was at a truck
stop next door. "I don't know where they came from, but I'd say they'd
have to weigh 800 pounds apiece and they were on a pretty good trot."
