JPD help in another cattle roundup

Jamestown (CSi) Another unexpected cattle roundup on Tuesday evening as Jamestown police officers spent about an hour rounding up 21 head of cattle.

The animals got loose after a single-vehicle accident, when a truck pulling a cattle trailer attempted to go up the hill on 17th Avenue Southwest around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The vehicle lost traction, slid back down the hill and ran into an obstacle.

The gate on the back of the trailer broke and the animals got loose.

Officers were able to round up 20 of the cattle and one was still be sought last evening.

Another cattle roundup occurred last Friday morning when a cattle hauler flipped over near JRMC, with several of the animals getting loose.

Twenty-three of the 88 cattle onboard died.
