Sonny Atwood loves his four Highland cattle and wants nothing more than to bring them safely back to his Orland farm after they ran off on Sunday. But attempts to corral the steer, bull and two cows have failed. The normally docile cattle were spooked by something in their pasture Sunday afternoon and have been on the run ever since, according to Atwood. He has resigned himself to a more drastic solution next time they are spotted. “I am going to have to shoot them,” Atwood said Thursday morning.
