Escaped bull with bucket on head causes A77 tailbacks

A bull with a feed tray stuck on its head caused traffic tailbacks on a busy South Ayrshire road after escaping from a farmer's field.

Police were alerted to reports that the animal had wandered on to the A77 Ballantrae to Girvan road at about 15:30 on Tuesday.

The incident caused tailbacks for about 45 minutes until the farmer who owned the bull returned it to the field.

The animal had the feed tray removed and the farm fence was secured.
