Where's the beef?

Four cows escaped from a meat processing plant in Pocatello, Idaho, on Sunday, according to the Idaho Statesman — and it's reported that two are still on the loose.

That makes five cows total in three days from the same plant!

In an unrelated cow-on-the-loose incident two days earlier, a heifer from the same processing center, Anderson Custom Pack, went viral for its dramatic escape, which included jumping over a fence, causing a lengthy police chase and ramming two police cars before it was shot dead, according to the Associated Press.

Of the four cows that escaped on Sunday, one was shot and killed in a neighborhood about a mile away from the business. The other cow whose location is known was captured and returned to Anderson, according to the Statesman.

Unlike the cow who jumped over the fence, it is believed that this batch of cows escaped when a gate to a corral had been unlatched and pushed open — interestingly, pushed inward and not outward, which the Statesman says "raised suspicions that someone had intentionally opened the gate."
