    A lab in Miyazaki prefecture is looking for 143 missing vials of prized bull semen:

    The straw-shaped vials were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored in a locked container at the institute’s artificial insemination lab. The key to the lock was kept in a drawer in the lab, but the lab itself was left unlocked.

    The vials, containing semen from five bulls, were estimated to be worth 650,000 yen. Cattle from the prefecture won top prize at a national grading event in 2007.
