It turns out about 20 cattle were spooked overnight and escaped the property outside the southwest limits of Owen Sound (near Waverley Heights).
The farmer had called police and they were looking for the animals when they were spotted at the school.
Police say it’s fortunate no one was hurt and there wasn’t a serious collision on the road with the cows, and the search continues for the other missing cattle.
