Longhorn pays visit to fire station — no, a real longhorn

032106_longhorn.jpgFirefighters at a southeast Houston fire station had a surprise early this morning when a longhorn wandered in through one of the station's garage doors. There's not much to say about the story, really, other than that a longhorn wandered into a fire station (just in case you didn't get that part). KHOU has video of the bovine visitor, which seemed to spend most of its time standing around looking confused and peeping demurely from behind emergency vehicles.

It's not clear where the longhorn came from; the station is located at Broadway and Lawndale, which as far as we know isn't particularly close to any corrals. Firefighters herded the longhorn into a trailer and took it to the Harris County Sheriff's livestock facility near Humble. So far, no one's come forward to claim the lost cow.
