There goes the neighborhood.

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

Gemma Reid of Dundee City in Scotland woke up to cows casually trotting through her front yard. Apparently the animals have been routinely escaping from a nearby farm.

Reid took a video of the cows sauntering by, and hopefully not ruining her finely trimmed lawn, on Sept. 5, but she has noticed the cows more than once.

Reid told the Courier, "Barely a day goes by without seeing cows trampling past the front door...It has certainly been a talking point round here. At first it was mildly amusing but it is getting faintly ridiculous now."

The herd regularly walks past her door around 6:30 a.m. For some, it could be a reliable wake-up call, as long as you're a morning person.

Neighbors like this might make anyone want to moo-ve.
