Cows, cats and ghost chasers kept Dodge County officers busy Sunday.
At 9:59 a.m., officers received a report that five steers from a farm on County Trunk A near Prospect Road in the town of Burnett were loose. The animals were rounded up by neighbors and officers left a note for the owner, according to dispatch logs.
A town of Hustisford woman called police shortly after noon to report a man shooting cats on County Trunk E, according to dispatch logs. Officers spoke to the alleged shooter's wife who said the man was not shooting at the cats, only trying to scare the cats away from the birds.
A calf escaped a fence on a farm on Highway 49 in the town of Chester about 8:10 p.m. and ended up near the road, according to dispatch logs. Officers located the owner and the calf was secured.
About 30 head of cattle wandered onto Brave Road near County Trunk AW in the town of Fox Lake about 3 a.m. Monday, according to the log. The owner rounded up the animals before officers arrived.
Members of the Wisconsin Ghost Hunters Association were confronted by officers shortly before midnight in a town of Clyman cemetery regarding their behavior, according to dispatch logs.
About 9 a.m., the dispatch center received word from Town of Clyman Chairman Dave Blank that the ghost hunters would be in Eagle Cemetery on Eagle Road near County Trunk M between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., according to the log.
At 11:46 p.m., an officer spoke to the ghost hunters about their "conduct," according to the log. Further details on their conduct were not available Monday.
The cemetery is listed on a Web site frequented by ghost chasers, said Dodge County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Blaine Lauersdorf. The site claims the cemetery is haunted.
"Ever since that came out, we have kids going in there," he said. "It's particularly popular on Halloween."
Authorities have had problems with vandalism in the cemetery, Lauersdorf said.
