Against the advice of the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office a cattle drive is taking place this weekend. The Sheriff’s Office says a cattle drive is taking place Sunday and is expected to last about 4-5 hours. The drive is apparently going to be taking place starting on Thrush Road in the town of Lebanon. The route will include Bluebird Road to County R, north through the Village of Hustisford, then north on County E to County S. It will travel east on County S about a half mile to a farm. The cattle owner has hired 15 cowboys who will be on horseback driving 50 head of cattle. They will also be handling traffic control. This cattle drive is being done against the advice of the sheriff’s office due to the distance involved and warnings have been given to the owner of the cattle regarding potential damage and traffic issues surrounding the drive. The Sheriff’s Office says motorists need to yield right of way to livestock being driven on or over a highway. Wisconsin Statutes 346.21 titled “Right-of-way of livestock” states:
The operator of a motor vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to livestock being driven over or along any highway but any person in charge of such livestock shall use reasonable care and diligence to open the roadway for vehicular traffic.
If issues arise from this cattle drive that required law enforcement attention, please contact the sheriff’s office at 920-386-3726 and a deputy will respond accordingly. Please use caution if traveling in the Hustisford/Lebanon area on Sunday morning.
