Cow escapes, roams University of Illinois campus during finals week — ‘Superficial injuries’ as police corral the scene

He’s on the moooove.

A cow cut loose during the last leg of its transport to the University of Illinois’ veterinary school, when it was seen trotting around campus before being steered to safety Wednesday, wild video shows.

The slippery bovine got free while staff were unloading it from a trailer near the university’s College of Veterinary Medicine’s Large Animal Clinic on Wednesday afternoon, The Daily Illini reported.

The massive black cow innocently plodded around campus, much to the utter shock of students in the throes of finals week.

Video footage captured by the student newspaper showed the cow roaming down a road to the Main Quad at the heart of the campus. It lingered near a bush for a rest in the shade while campus police tried to corral it.

The University of Illinois Police Department closed the quad while they wrangled the cow.

Patrick Wade, the university’s director of executive communications, told the outlet that the cow “sustained some superficial injuries” that were tame enough to be treated on site.

The cow was safely captured in the campus quad.

Students told the paper that campus authorities were being “very urgent” when they were all ushered away from the quad, which sparked concerns of a larger threat.

Their worries quickly dissipated as videos of the cow started circulating.

Greta Sakutis, a sophomore majoring in engineering, told the outlet she saw police tranquilize the cow and carry it on a tarp back toward the livestock trailer it likely escaped from.

School officials said that the cow is under veterinary care, where it was intended to go before its short-lived freedom flight.
