COWS ARE SHOWING UP ON THE ROADS LEADING TO THE BERNALILLO COUNTY METROPOLITAN DETENTION CENTER. COUNTY SPOKESMAN LARRY GALLEGOS SAYS THE ROADS WHERE YOU’LL ENCOUNTER THE COWS INCLUDE DEPUTY DEAN MIERA DRIVE, SHELLY DRIVE AND THE I-40 FRONTAGE ROAD.
GALLEGOS SAYS THEY SEE THEM YEAR-ROUND BECAUSE THERE’S ALWAYS CATTLE IN THAT AREA, BUT IN THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, A COW OR TWO HAS BECOME GROUPINGS OF COWS OF 8 TO 12.
HE SAYS THE LIVESTOCK IS GAINING ACCESS TO THE ROADS THROUGH ONE LOCATION. HE SAYS THEY’D LIKE TO SEE A GATE INSTALLED BY THE OWNER OF THE COWS. GALLEGOS SAYS ANYONE HEADING OUT TO THE M-D-C SHOULD BE CAREFUL, ESPECIALLY AFTER SUNSET.
