Farmer: Bull flipped over fence by buffalo
MERCER, Pa.
A western Pennsylvania dairy farmer says a 2-year-old bull that went missing for a month likely was pushed over a fence by a friend’s pregnant buffalo.
Kevin Minor loaned out his 400-pound Watusi bull, “Lucky,” hoping it would mate with a friend’s buffalo near Mercer, about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Minor now believes the buffalo angrily rebuffed the bull and knocked him over the fence. It turns out the buffalo already was pregnant and gave birth two days after Lucky arrived.
The bull was reported missing July 14.
The (Sharon) Herald reported that the bull was located in some nearby woods a month later. Minor coaxed the bull back with a small group of cows which the farmer knew the bull liked.
Alligator causes scare, then a laugh in Minn.
ROCKVILLE, Minn.
A 2-foot-long alligator recently caused a scare — and then a laugh — in Stearns County.
A man called the sheriff’s office to report an exotic animal. A deputy came out and found the alligator basking on the grass next to a creek and swampy area.
The deputy approached cautiously but the alligator didn’t move or retreat. The deputy poked it with his baton — and discovered it was just a plastic toy.
The sheriff’s office jokes in a statement that “it was safely removed.”
