Why did the cows cross the river?


Poland Returns Cows That Swam From Belarus
WARSAW, Poland, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Poland transported 240 cows back to Belarus Thursday when vets established the animals were in good health after swimming across the Bug River. On Sunday at Janow Podlaski, in eastern Poland, border guards tried to herd the cows back across the river to Belarus but after their efforts failed they placed them in quarantine, Radio Polonia reported.

Radomir Banko, a Polish vet said the cows, all 14 to 18 months old, were "very good swimmers" and all in good health.

Banko said he believed the cows were attracted to cross the Bug by the sounds of cattle grazing on the Polish side of the river.
