The department shared images and a brief description of the incident on their Facebook page. 

When asked if any tickets were issued, they responded: "Verbal warning only. They responded in bleats. Still unclear what was said."

The loose cows didn't initially respond to officer's commands, and it "got a little confusing," according to police. 

Officers speculated the cows had a flight to catch since they were grazing near McKinney Airport. But the department has yet to confirm motive. 

Collin County Animal Control officials eventually rounded the cows up. A hole in their fence led to their escape. 

All the cows are accounted for and safely back home.
