Escaped bull shops for produce

No one was hurt when a bull escaped the clutches of its owner and ran into Cummins’ Super-Valu in Ballinrobe, Co Mayo, Ireland.

Independent.ie reports the bull had been at the local mart a few hundred yards away when it made its great escape.

Was it shopping for steaks?

By the time the bull was eventually recaptured by its owner, a local farmer, the only damage done was to fruit and vegetable stands.

"People were joking afterwards that our beef was fresh and fully traceable," said Mr Cummins. "He passed out Tesco to get to us. That tells its own story."
