A COW which got onto the M65 has been re-mooved, police said. 

It was spotted on the embankment on the eastbound carriageway near J7. 

The incident prompted chuckles from the North West Motorway policing unit who shared their thoughts on social media. 

In one Twitter post they said: "The cow on the M65 is sitting down not looking for any trouble and the farmer is on the way." 

In another they said: "The M65 the cow has been remooved from the M65 ...dont milk the jokes."
