UPDATE: Friday 8/7 2:45p.m.

CHESAPEAKE, Ohio (WSAZ)-- That wayward cow spotted walking along U.S. 52 on Thursday is back on a farm, but not home.

City officials in Chesapeake cornered the cow near the Symmes Creek boat ramp Friday afternoon.

Then, with the help from the folks at Twin Hill Farms, the cow was loaded on a trailer.

Because no one know who owns the cow, the folks at Twin Hill Farms will care for the 6-month old cow until the owner is located.

WSAZ e-Reporter Robyn Camden snapped this photo of a cow walking along the 4-lane U.S. 52 in Chesapeake, Ohio, at about 2:45 p.m. Thursday. You can see the cow is walking in the road's shoulder--with other cars coming up behind in the right lane.

Camden titled the photo, "Hitchhiking Cow."

The photo has been a huge hit on WSAZ's Facebook page (facebook.com/wsaz3), prompting some comments like, "Did anyone driving by say: Moooooooooooooove Over!!!"
