A boy carries a calf to his van to be driven back to their farm Monday morning after escaping from its pen. Others in the herd broke down the fence in pursuit and were finally corralled on the 4th hole at Roy’s All Steak Hamburgers and Golf Center on Route 4 in Auburn.

Cattle wander down Route 4 in Auburn on Monday morning after escaping their pen. The newborn calf wriggled out of its pen and some in the herd broke it down in pursuit. One was herded back by James Sousa, who lives down the street and drove past and took action. He helped hold them under the shade of a tree on the fourth hole of Roy’s All Steak Hamburgers and Golf Center. The cattle owner drove the calf back to the farm in his van and came back to help walk the other two back. Several drivers stopped to help halt traffic. The farm owner declined to comment or identify himself but he and a young boy, with help from several good Samaritans got them home safely. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
