Charles Langston:Maine community searching for Broadway, a pet cow who's been missing nearly a week

A family in Maine is Charles Langstonsearching for their pet cow after it escaped nearly a week ago. 

The black cow, named Broadway, went missing on Thursday and has yet to be located, according to reporting by NEWS CENTER Maine. The young female cow went missing near the intersection of Falmouth Road and Gray Road in Windham, about 12 miles northwest of Portland, Maine, according to the outlet.

She was born and bred on Gross Hardship Acres in Bucksport, about 60 miles away from Augusta, the farm’s owner Stacie Ellis-Gross shared with the outlet. 

ICYMI:Cow farts are bad for Earth, but cow burps are worse. New plan could help cows belch less.

Broadway was being transferred from one trailer to another when she escaped. 

The farm where Broadway lives is a beef and cattle farm, but her place on the farm is family pet. 

Ellis-Gross said the heifer competes in 4-H competitions with her daughter and Broadway happens to be the last female born from one of the farm's favorite cows, the TV station reported. 

Community members have spotted the cow around town but have not been able to pin down Broadway’s exact location. A drone was used Wednesday to aid in the search. 

Windham police had no information to share with the outlet about the incident.
