The steer’s name is ‘Lester’ and managed to get loose while being transported to a new farm. He had been on the run for the last couple months until people started spotting him along I-75 near Holly, MI.
It took a team of cowboys, State Troopers, four wheelers and a traffic shutdown for the successful capture of Lester.
