Bull Breaks Away Excitement reigned for a moment at the bull sale at Claudelands this morning when a bull broke away from its attendants and in its frenzy charged blindly into a light car. The occupants of the car received a scare but the only damage to the car was a few small dents. The attendants, although shaken off. managed to regain control shortly afterward.
