WESTBOROUGH, MA — The grass is always greener on the other side, but a curious group of cattle in Westborough had to taste that grass for themselves.

Westborough police received an udderly unique call on Sunday morning when residents at a home on Wachusett View Drive called about four trespassers on their property. The culprits: four cows, grazing the lawn.

The Westborough police recapped the incident, posting on Facebook, "Never a dull moment in Westborough!" The Animal Control officer helped herd the cattle together off of the lawn and police had a "mini cattle drive back to their home at Uhlmans."
