A wandering hereford cow was shot by an animal control officer after reports it was on the main road near Mokau.
The officer from Environmental Northland Limited responded to calls made to Whangarei District Council and the cow was shot about 100m from Pukapuka Rd.
There had also been reports of a horse wandering on the road at the same time.
Late last month three horses were shot on the same stretch of road.
