Rush hour traffic was brought to a standstill after an escaped bullock made its way onto the M90.
The animal was spotted on the southbound carriageway, near Glenfarg, shortly after 5pm on Wednesday.
A farmer stopped to herd the animal off the busy road, eventually succeeding in getting it off the carriageway.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “We were called to the southbound carriageway just as you approach Glenfarg at 5.08pm following reports of a black bullock on the road.
