Kicker: Mooving in

NICK EICHER, HOST: Even city folks know, don’t they? You can’t leave the barn door open [don’t let the cows out].

Seems obvious, but not obvious enough for some suburbanites in Wisconsin who recently gained some unwanted wrangler experience.

Audio from WISN-TV.

MAN: We were in our backyard when the cows came stampeding down the hill and they were movin’!

I’ll say! Turns out, wrangling is a lot easier in the movies.

WOMAN: We would get the cows going one way and then all of a sudden they’d be like, “Oh, whatever, we want to go this way.”

The results were, let’s say, predictable.

WOMAN: They left their droppings all over. And they were big droppings!

Well, they’re cows. Good news is all the cattle are back on the farm. All’s well.

REICHARD: Udder chaos averted!

EICHER: It’s The World and Everything in It.
