Cows on Tracks Prompt Bluefield Cleanup and Recall of 1916 Nuisance
Police and fire crews corralled loose cattle near Bluefield tracks on a Monday night. A.D. Moore, in her first livestock call, helped guide cows back to safety and away from Bluefield Avenue. Fire Capt. Shannon Akers loaded the animals for owner return, noting the cows’ larger size compared to deer. The owner’s arrangements and Akers’s trailer aided containment near Hurricane Ridge. An old 1916 article recalls prior cattle roaming and fines for owners, underscoring a long-standing city nuisance. Karen Boothe highlighted the coincidence. City livestock rules require permits and consent from nearby residents for cows and other livestock within limits.
