鈥淲e were making a plan of which direction to go if he actually started toward us,鈥� she said. 鈥淟uckily, he crossed over to where the little hobby airfield is.鈥�
The bull was also spotted at Wood Lake Road and it was seen making a stop at Woodsdale General Store.
Karen Miller, the director of communications with the District of Lake Country, said she heard about the bull roaming around town over the weekend. She said roaming livestock isn鈥檛 a common issue in Lake Country, but it has happened before.

鈥淣ormally we would just call the rancher and the cowboys will come down and deal with it,鈥� she said.
But this time, she said, officials didn鈥檛 know who the bull belonged to.
From the photos submitted to the online community on Facebook, Miller said she was pleased to see the bull using the rail trail.
鈥淭he comments on social media were so witty,鈥� she added in with a laugh.
Lake Country bylaw officers assisted RCMP to 鈥渃orral鈥� the animal.
