A man in Nebraska, USA was pulled over by police officers for driving down a highway in a car with a massive Watusi bull sitting in the passenger seat.
Officers from the Norfolk Police Division received a call around 10 a.m. on Wednesday, August 30 reporting a man driving eastbound on highway 275 with a cow riding shotgun.

“They thought that it was going to be a calf, something small or something that would actually fit inside the vehicle,” Police Captain Chad Reiman told News Channel Nebraska Northeast.
Photos show the big black and white bull — named Howdy Doody — casually riding in the small, modified car with its hulking shoulders, head and monster horns sticking up from where half of the roof and windshield used to be.
The passenger-side door had been replaced with a metal barred guardrail that’s usually found in a cattle enclosure.
A sign on the railing read “Nebraska’s Big Rodeo Parade: Best Car Entry.”
“As a result, the officers performed a traffic stop and addressed some traffic violations that were occurring with that particular situation,” Captain Reiman said.
Police identified the driver of the vehicle as Lee Meyer.
“The officer wrote him some warnings,” Reiman told the outlet. “There were some citable issues with that situation. The officer chose to write him a warning and ask him to take the animal back home and leave the city.”
Police say the animal and its owner headed back home afterwards.
