Original Story:

One Central New York law enforcement agency is asking for help from members of the public finding a loose cow that is wandering near a local shopping area.

New Hartford Police say the brown and white beef cow is from the Vernon area.

According to a written release from the NHPD, "Immediate assistance is needed from either the owner of the cow or from anyone with experience in handling this type of animal and the equipment to corral it."

For those who are not familiar with Commercial Drive it is, as one may expect from its name, a road flanked on both sides by shopping venues.  Authorities say it is considered a high traffic area in the Mohawk Valley.
