(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Latisha Francis hopes this Monday goes much better than the last.
That's when three marauding cows butted their way into her farmhouse in Pike County, Ark. while she wasn't home, crushing furniture and leaving a load of manure behind them, the Texarkana Gazette reported.

Now she's learned her homeowner's insurance doesn't cover vandalism by bovines.
"It's not something that people would see every day," Francis told The Dallas Morning News . "At least I hope I never see it again."
She arrived home to find one cow sticking his head out the doorway, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom, the Gazette reported. The bovines, who weighed up to 1,600 pounds, upended furniture and scattered belongings, according to The Dallas Morning News .
Francis thinks that the cows might have become spooked by her dogs before entering the house.
Inside the house the cows slipped on the laminate wood floor, fell on furniture and crushed some of it. They also got into a 50-pound bag of dog food and left a load of manure, the Gazette reported.
"I was wanting to cry. But I thought, 'I can't cry, I've got to get these cows out of my house.' Besides, I had no place to sit," Francis told the Gazette .
The cows were removed by Pike County sheriff's deputies who were assisted by two high school teachers and Francis' husband, whom she called at work to tell him about the intruders. Don't worry, she told him over the phone, "but I've got cows in my house," according to The Dallas Morning News .
"It was a little different," Sheriff Preston Glenn told the newspaper. "Life's never dull in our line of work, but that was kind of different."
