Hal Leavitt DAVISON, Jr. and Patsy G. Davison, husband and wife, Appellants, v. SCHWARTZ FARMS, INC., and American Fire and Casualty Insurance Company, Appellees.
    No. 73-907.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    March 7, 1975.
    Rehearing Denied April 7, 1975.
    L. Norman Vaughan-Birch, of Kirk, Pinkerton, Sparrow, McClelland & Savary, Sarasota, for appellants.
    Daniel A. Carlton, of Dart, Dickinson, O’Riorden, Gibbons & Quale, Sarasota, for appellees.
   McNULTY, Chief Judge.

Plaintiffs-appellants appeal from an adverse summary judgment in this negligence action. We reverse.

Appellants’ car collided with a bull owned by defendants-appellees which had found its way onto the public highway. The issue herein is whether the bull was properly fenced under the “Warren Act.” A careful review of the pleadings herein together with depositions on file persuades us that all the facts and inferences viewed in a light most favorable to plaintiffs-appellants preclude a determination that as a matter of law they cannot recover herein. In view whereof we think defendants-ap-pellees have failed to demonstrate the non-existence of a genuine issue of material fact and that the entry of summary judgment was improper.

Accordingly, the summary judgment entered herein should be, and the same is hereby, reversed; and the cause is remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent herewith.

HOBSON, J., and SCHWARTZ, ALAN R., Associate Judge, concur. 
      
      . Chapter 588, F.S.1971.
