COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. -- Are you missing any cattle? Agriculture officials are looking for the owners of six cattle found wandering in the road near Immokalee last week.

According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office, their Agriculture Bureau responded to Trafford Farm Road late last week in reference to loose cattle, and found the cattle wandering in the road and herded them into a fenced property. There were three cows, one heifer, one bull calf and a large bull.

Bureau members were unable to identify the owner or determine where the cattle belonged, and were forced to capture the cattle and transport them to Domestic Animal Services for safe keeping.

Bureau members coaxed and herded them into a stock trailer.  The cattle were transported to DAS, where they were placed in a turn out pasture awaiting being claimed by the owner.
