COW ESCAPES MANGER SCENE, TWICE

A cow in a live manger scene in Philadelphia escaped twice Thursday morning. Stormy, a 7-year-old brown and white Hereford, is part of the scene at Old First Reformed Church of Christ. Police first got reports of a cow near an Interstate 95 on-ramp around 2 a.m. Thursday. One of the state police troopers who responded has a cattle ranch in New Jersey and knew how to handle the situation, putting a lead rope on the cow and walking her back to the church. But she fled again around 6 a.m., winding up on the fourth floor of a parking garage about a block south of the church. By late morning, Stormy was on a trailer to head back to the high school 4-H club that owns her. She was replaced by a cow about half her size named Ginger.
* And that’s just the big break Ginger the understudy was hoping for!
* Maybe Stormy has stage fright?
* She thought it was time for a costume change?
* None of the three wise men are wise enough to design a cow-proof gate?
* Stormy was last seen on a street corner holding a sign, “Will let you milk me for food.”
* They need a Manger Ranger.
