Nelson County Animal Control Officer Kevin Wright said he was expecting a black angus cow or another livestock animal more common to the area when he responded to the call about 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Wright learned the animal, named Meteor, had been traveling on a trailer from a Buckingham farm to a butcher when he made a run for it. "I think this thing made a break for it and took off," Wright said. Meteor was spotted Wednesday around the Orchard House Bed and Breakfast, but left the area before authorities arrived.
