OXFORD, Mass. (AP) - Police say a roving group of cows crashed a small gathering in a Massachusetts town and bullied the guests for their beer.

Boxford police Lt. James Riter says he was responding to a call for loose cows on Sunday and spotted them in a front yard.

Riter says the herd high-tailed it for the backyard and then he heard screaming. He says when he ran back there he saw the cows had chased off some young adults and were drinking their beers.

Riter says the cows had knocked the beer cans over on a table and were lapping up what spilled. He says they even started rooting around the recycled cans for some extra drops.

Riter says the cows' owner and some friends herded the cows back home.

A lot of cattle get alcohol; when you produce corn silage it ferments and the cows eat it regularly. I'm sure beer tastes a lot better than that crap.

I don't think anyone thinks it's a big deal actually

so what is the big deal? I like to marinate my beef in beer, and the Japanese feed beer to their beef to make them nice and tender and juicy on the grill.

Breed doesnt mean anything! The farmer probably trained them to be attack cows.

In all honesty it sounds like they were thirsty and the owner might need to check their water supply.

someone heard "screaming?" Surely cows aren't that frightening unless they are stampeding. Sure I would be surprised by bovine party crashers, but screaming?
