A bull that escaped from an Illinois farm spent hours on the run before men on horseback finally lassoed the beast in a scene straight out of the Old West. The bull was captured Thursday evening after the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office warned in a Facebook post that “there is a loose bull in the vegetation” in Marengo, about 60 miles northwest of Chicago. Video from WLS-TV shows six men on horseback chasing the 1,200-pound black angus crossbreed through a pasture. Three of the men later lassoed the bull just outside the town of Union and led him back to the farm he’d escaped from.
