Guilford Police Department

Three bison that escaped from a farm over the weekend in Guilford have been located.

The police department said the bison escaped on Sunday and one was found wandering on a road later that day.

Police said the bison was meandering across Long Hill Road and it disappeared into the woods.

"Sometimes the midnight shift plays tricks on you and you have to rub your eyes to make sure you are seeing what your brain is telling you it sees out of the raining, dark shadows. Well, today was one of those mornings when our officers happened upon a bison in the roadway," police said in Facebook post.

Later in the morning, police said team members from the 3B Ranch were out in the trails looking for the three escaped bison.

The police department said the other two escaped bison were located on Wednesday and brought back to the range.

"These fluffernators had a few eventful days out, meeting and greeting the locals, learning about the rules of the road (everyone knows buffalo have the right of way at every intersection now), and finally they decided that it was time to take a nap in the comforts of their own pasture," police said on Facebook.
