A wrangler on horseback lassoed a roving cow on Interstate 79 early Wednesday morning when the animal backed up traffic for about two miles in Cranberry.
State police told TribLive news partner WTAE that callers first reported the loose livestock in the grassy median around 7 a.m.
Police and an unknown cowherd guided the bovine into a trailer about three hours later.
No injuries to man or beast were reported.
Local farmers had not claimed the heifer, police told WTAE, leaving the cow’s origin an ongoing mystery.
