Both fire and emergency crews were called to the scene when numerous reports trickled in reporting a bizarre, foul-smelling odor.

Officials then shut down the highway while HAZMAT crews were called on site to examinee and carefully remove the canisters.

After moving the canisters to a safe area, the teams on site determined the canisters were filled with bull semen.

But how much bull semen? Approximately each container features somewhere between 300 and 400 straws of the bull semen, making for approximately 1600 straws worth with an estimated value of up to $80,000.

No one has yet to step forward to claim their spermatozoic bounty.

It’s not uncommon for foreign substances to travel long distances via Greyhound; the company’s cargo operation makes up a significant portion of its business.

I’d be shocked if there’s ever been a time in which gallons of bull semen have been unearthed and it’s led to a positive experience. That said, for $80,000, I wouldn’t be opposed to hitting a bull semen pipeline in my backyard. “Liquid platinum, San Francisco tea,” I’d exclaim before moving to Beverly Hills.
