I was on a big freestall dairy one day. They were filling beds and had the cows held up coming out of the barn on two four hundred cow pens. They forgot to shut the gates on the end of the barn and turned both pens in at once. Eight hundred head shot right down the lane and out the gate. They had cattle all over the highway for a few hours. They were jersey's too, so when you try to push one they just sull up and won't move. Luckily they were milked three times a day so after a couple of hours of chasing them the cow pusher started whistling and they all started heading for the barn.

They are the worst to deal with when they do. At one point I had some Jersey and Holstien nurse cows when we were raising dairy calves. One of those winters we had a ice storm, and everthing was covered in ice. A heavy bred Jersey heifer broke into the back of the barn and then came out the front doors. We found her in the front yard almost to the road standing like statue. Could not get her to budge when she finally did she took out to the road. There wasn't much traffic that morning thankfully as it is a state road and usually heavily traveled. A young state policeman drove by and helped me get her in, I was very appreciative.
One of our neighbors has some Jerseys in a beef herd capacity if you know what I mean. We frequently get unsolicited visits from Jersey bulls. It usually takes an impromptu day's work to get them up and dealt with.
