It wasn’t the American Queen, but the cows didn’t mind a bit as they got a tour of the Miss-Lou by barge after being stranded in a flooded field in south Adams County. The cows were transported to Vidalia Dock and Storage where they were loaded up on a cattle trailer to be taken to drier pastures.

Volunteers worked for four days to find a way to rescue the cows. The first attempts Thursday failed because the tug boat could not move through the shallow waters along the edge of the site. After three days, crew members were finally successful in their attempts.

Watch the following videos of the cows return to the Vidalia Riverfront Sunday.
