Why did the cattle cross the road in Florida? And how did deputies get that to happen?
All in a day’s work.
A few deputies from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office put on their cowboy hats on Thursday.
According to a post from the agency, two members of the Agricultural Unit assisted local ranchers with a cattle crossing event at the break of dawn in Vero Beach.
Agriculture Deputy John McNeal and Deputy Alec Munni temporarily shut down traffic to assist with moving the cows from the Sexton Ranch to a different pasture down the road.
In pictures, the animals are corralled and make their way in unison as the sun rises.

“The cattle drive was successful and the roadway was reopened to vehicular traffic after just a short time,” according to the sheriff’s office Facebook post.
FB commenters loved the images, with one social media user writing: “Reminds me of the show ‘Yellowstone,’ ” about the current hit starring Kevin Costner about a Montana ranching family fighting to keep its land.
Another noted that the pictures hearkened back to a simpler time.
“It is like the good old days.”
Some couldn’t resist cracking jokes.
“Good job MOOving the cattle.”
