In Beef Town, cattle are proving to be a problem.

Disorientated and lost in the floods, cows have been spotted in backyards and in the streets of Casino.

The worst thing to do is to toot your car horn as this will distress them further.

Richmond Valley Council have 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.”

There is a Facebook page to report found and lost livestock and other animals.

Mark Paisley reported a “fairly quiet” Brahman bull at Tuckurimba.
