Moove Over, MetroWest Cows Take Over Local Lawn: Patch PM

WESTBOROUGH, MA — It's Monday and our first full week of October. The fall weather is slowly creeping in and could bring a bit of rain with it on Wednesday. The wet weather likely won't stick around but the cooler temperatures will.

Speaking of creeping in, some Westborough residents found some udderly unusual trespassers on their property on Sunday morning: cows. A group of four cows escaped their home on the farm and wandered onto the neighbor's lawn.

Police caught the group munching on some grass when they arrived and herded them back home.

Here are some other stories we've kept an eye on.
