A Scottish Highlands bull has been wandering around rural western Connecticut for over a month after escaping from its enclosure. Its sightings, particularly in New Milford, have brought joy to locals, unaware of the animal's struggling condition in the cold. Animal control officer Lee Sohl is assisting the owners in their attempts to recapture the scared bull, while farm owner Jo Ann Joray is receiving calls from residents spotting the elusive animal. Though resilient to cold, the bulls face challenges during freezing temperatures, echoing memories of a similar incident with a bull named 'Buddy' in 2021.
'People keep spotting it and they don't know that people are looking for it,' said animal control officer in Kent, Lee Sohl. 'If somebody calls me about a sighting, then I tell the owner and they've been doing their best.'
Scottish Highland cattle are considered weather resilient and naturally live outside all year long - though temperatures have been dipping below freezing in the Nutmeg State for several days.
Farm owner Jo Ann Joray says cow-gawkers have been reaching out whenever they see the bovine specimen - but she has been unable to bring home her beefy boy.
That stealthy steer was slated to be killed for its meat before escaping the clutches of man at a slaughterhouse in Plymouth, Conn.
