Waiting for a bovine intervention.

In rural western Connecticut, a magnificent Scottish Highlands bull has been wandering around freely, delighting locals who come across it while its owners are having difficulty rounding up their valuable cattle.

For more than a month, people in Litchfield County have been catching glimpses of this stunning bull after it broke free from its pen in the hilly region of Connecticut.

The bull was last seen in New Milford town, although many onlookers are unaware that the animal is currently lost and probably enduring hardship in the cold winter conditions.

“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. They run right out and try to get to it, but it’s hard. It’s hard in this weather, and [the bull is] very scared,” Sohl told the Associated Press.

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.

Scottish Highland cattle are considered weather resilient and naturally live outside all year long — though temperatures have been dipping below freezing temps in the Nutmeg State for several days.

Western Connecticut is no stranger to cows lamming-it for extended periods of time.

‘Buddy’ the beefalo captured the hearts and minds of Nutmeggers — after the halfbreed bull lived off the land for over eight months back in 2021.

That stealthy steer was slated to be killed for its meat before escaping the clutches of man at a slaughterhouse in Plymouth, Conn.

‘Buddy’ was eventually rehomed at an animal sanctuary in Gainesville, Fla.
