Runaway cow a folk hero - Cincinnati Post

In a week filled with major news - the execution of a

Cincinnatian for the first time in nearly a half

century, black entertainers' boycott of the city and

the countless feel-good stories of the Olympics -

tri-staters are preoccupied, of all things, with a

missing cow.

Since escaping from a local slaughterhouse by jumping

a 6-foot fence at Ken Meyer Meats in Camp Washington

Feb. 15, the 1,200-pound cow has become daily fodder

for radio talk shows, TV newscasts and office chatter.

sick or injured animals left to die slowly in

below-freezing temperatures.
