This Steer Rides Shotgun
  + stars: | 2023-08-31 | by ( Michael Levenson | More About Michael Levenson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Let this be a warning to those of you who long to hit the open road with a 2,200-pound steer riding shotgun: Observe all traffic laws, especially when passing through Norfolk, Neb. Lee Meyer, 63, a retired machinist, learned that lesson on Wednesday. For seven years, Mr. Meyer has been chauffeuring his 2,200-pound Watusi-longhorn mix named Howdy Doody with its horns and head exposed to the open air in a customized Ford Crown Victoria with the license plate “Boy Dog.”But he had never been stopped by the police, he said, until Wednesday morning as he drove Howdy Doody into Norfolk from his 15-acre ranch south of Neligh, about 35 miles away. Mr. Meyer had just turned off the highway on what was supposed to be a test run in preparation for Howdy Doody’s appearance at Norfolk’s Oktoberfest when he noticed a police car behind him had turned on its flashing lights.

A car driving with a bull in it was pulled over by police in northeast Nebraska's biggest city. A video of the traffic stop shot by News Channel Nebraska spread quickly online. Reiman said Meyer wasn't headed to a parade Wednesday. Meyer didn't answer his home phone Thursday morning so he couldn't be reached immediately for an explanation. Videos of Lee Meyer driving Howdy Doody around can readily be found online from 2017 and 2019.
