Cattle were disorientated and some were roaming the streets in Casino today.

Richmond Valley Council urged residents not to approach them.

If residents see any rogue cows, they should phone 6660 0300 and council rangers will attend where possible, council advised.

“If you are the owner, or know who these cattle belong to, also call 6660 0300.”

Casino based photographer Jackson Whitney captured today’s ‘herding’ on camera.
