SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. — Some drivers might have beef with their bosses for showing up late to work Monday. It wasn't their fault though, cows shut down multiple lanes in Sun Prairie!
According to the Sun Prairie Fire & Rescue, police responded to highway 151 for traffic control due to some loose cattle.
"You herd that right, a cow on the highway," police said.
Police asked drivers to avoid the area north of USH 151 northbound at Main Street due to the herd around 1 p.m.
