The cow held up traffic Wednesday when it was spotted along the median of Interstate 79, near Cranberry Township and Evans City in Butler County.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Weird, I guess the cow wanted to see "mooving" traffic.

Have fun, it's friday.

Maybe someone who has a steak in the cow’s ownership will meat up with the authorities. :)

“but the bovine’s origins remain unknown.”

My guess is that she came from a mommy cow.

Well, most cows are spotted, so how is that news, and why would anyone be surprised to see a spotted cow grazing, and just minding its own business?

Maybe the cow is a zombie. Evans City was the filming site of arguably the most famous zombie cult movie of all time. Who can name it?

Was he wearing a signboard that read “EAT MOR CHICKN”?

On a more serious note, I thought all livestock in the US has to be tagged and registered with the USDA for health and safety issues.
The cow should have an ear tag or two, which would indicate where she belonged.

OK, there’s humor in this story. But let’s not milk it.

He escaped from the aliens, who’d plucked him out of some big spread out west.
