Cows cause problems, accident in Prairie area

SEARCHING FOR STRAYS–A team of cowboys and cattle dogs are pictured along State Route 154 near Prairie Road on Monday morning, searching for a group of stray steers.

Some escaped cows have been causing quite a commotion in the Prairie area.

Early Saturday, Ralph and Millie Nagel on Prairie Road discovered that 12 of their steers had escaped. Soon a large effort to get them all back into their pens was launched.

While many searched on the ground, the tall corn made the search difficult.
