Sometimes the owner is never found. Years ago, my mom had a black cow wander in. She put her inside the pasture fence to keep her from getting hit on the road. The cow had a numbered ear tag. Called her neighbors, nobody was missing one. Called the sheriff's dept., they took a report and advised running an ad in the paper. She did, no calls. It was fall when the heifer showed up; the next spring she dropped a calf. Mom ended up giving the pair to her brother in law who had a few acres he was tired of mowing.
