After 5 Days Of Freedom, This Escaped Rodeo Bull Was Finally Caught

A young bull decided to celebrate Independence Day in his own way this year. The Wednesday before the holiday, a young bull escaped the Snowmass Village, Colorado, rodeo grounds. He was still free and frolicking over the holiday, celebrating his own sort of independence. However, despite eluding searchers for days, the escaped rodeo bull was finally caught.

Escaped Colorado Rodeo Bull Was Finally Caught

The escaped rodeo bull made his big break last Wednesday afternoon. Cowboy State Daily shares that he "slipped through temporary fencing as stock providers were unloading animals for the Snowmass Rodeo." Immediately, police sent out a public safety announcement. The announcement simply alerted the public to be cautious and not approach the bull. Police were receiving tips about the bull's location, but they never made it in time.

Eventually, they stopped looking for him. Claiming that "The bull will eventually make itself known." Then, when that happens, the police will notify the owner of the animal, and the owner can come to fetch the bull. Well, it turns out the police were right. Five days after his wild freedom run, the escaped rodeo bull was finally caught. After spending five days in what Cowboy State Daily claimed was an "upscale neighborhood," the bull finally decided it was time to return home.

How He Was Returned Home

Despite eluding law enforcement and having various names, the rougue animal was finally caught. Whether you knew him as Sauce Boss, which is how CBS Colorado identified the animal, or Twinkle Toes, which is how Officer Wlicher referred to him, you couldn't miss this animal. Well, unless it was hiding in the brush, which is precisely what it had been doing. The neighborhood that it escaped into has a lot of "really tall, brush-type foliage." The bull used that to hide as he enjoyed his mini vacation.

However, eventually, he emerged and was spotted. Then, the owners were able to come and retrieve him. Now that he has returned home, the escaped rodeo bull will be able to make his debut appearance this Wednesday. While his name may never have been confirmed, we can all agree on one thing: this animal certainly has some spunk.
