You never know what you're going to see in the great state of Wisconsin. One fast-food customer was shocked to see a cow in the back seat of a car going through a drive-thru.

Jessica R. Nelson was in a McDonald's drive-thru line in Marshfield around 1 p.m. on Thursday (August 26) when she spotted a cow shoved into the back of a car also going through the drive-thru, the Associated Press reported.

She posted a video of the encounter on Facebook, captioning it:

"A WHOLE FREAKING COW!!! Tell me you live in Wisconsin without telling me you live in Wisconsin."

"I thought it was fake at first. Who puts a cow in a Buick?" Nelson told The Associated Press. "Then its whole head moved.'

The video has gotten over 245,000 views and nearly 8,000 shares on Facebook in less than a week.

After the post had gone viral, Nelson was contacted by the owner and was informed that the cow was, in fact, a calf. The man driving the car had just purchased the calf from a fair and decided to stop for some food on his way home. Funny enough, the calf Nelson caught on camera was not the only one in the back seat; there were a total of three calves in the back.

A WHOLE FREAKING COW!!! Tell me you live in Wisconsin without telling me you live in Wisconsin 🤣 Edit to add: McDonald’s drive thru, Marshfield, WI. (For licensing and usage, contact: licensing@viralhog.com)
