The traffic was made worse due to temporary traffic lights on the Polegate Bypass due to a collision on Wednesday.
A few hours later police confirmed that the owner had been found and the cows had been rounded up safely.
“The owner has been found and the cows rounded up, so hopefully no more jaunts on to the A27 (seems the grass was greener on the other side after all),” police tweeted.
“Farmer on scene and cows now safely back home again.”
