KING CITY—A large farm animal spotted running around in live traffic lanes north of Toronto on Friday morning has been safely corralled. 

York Regional Police say the animal, previously thought to be a bull, was contained by its owner at about 10:30 a.m. in the community of King City. 

Const.  Andy Pattenden says cow is in fact a heifer, a female that has not yet given birth, and was first reported to be on the loose at about 9 a.m.

He says the cow is named Bambi — after the Disney character — due to its fondness for jumping fences, and that it likely escaped from its pen. 

Pattenden says the cow was found in an unfenced field near the rural junction (near King Road and Jane Street) where it was first sighted. 

The York Regional Police Twitter account had earlier alerted area road users that they should “#mooooveoutofhisway.”
