Amorous bovines block traffic on busy road

On Friday morning, motorists got a spectacle of the bovine variety when a cow and a bull, oblivious to the highway traffic, decided to do the wild thing in a construction zone on Route 28 in Rayburn Township.



Pennsylvania State police dealt with traffic congestion caused by the amorous pair "having relations in the road" at the intersection of Routes 28/66 and Route 85 in Rayburn Township, near Kittanning.

Mark O'Neil, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau near Harrisburg, saidthat it was his understanding that the cow and bull may have been having "relations" along the road for several hours.

Two local members of the state farm bureau were called to the scene to help clear the animals off of the highway and that it took 15 minutes to separate the bovines. "We've had cows hit by cars before ... this is a first in my career," state trooper John Corna said. Alvin Rosenberger, of Red Mill Road in Kittanning, later claimed ownership of the 6-year-old black cow and the young red bull.
