(TOWN OF ERIN, ON) – On Monday October 14, 2013 at approximately 3:16pm Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a call regarding a loose bull on County Road 124 just north of the Fourth Line of Erin. Further information was received that the bull had entered onto a farm property near that location and was no longer on the road.
