Cameron and his Grandmother, Doreen, were on their way from a family gathering to Cameron's parents' house. The drive involved an hour of travel through quiet farmland and almost deserted country roads just after sunset. They were surprised to find that on one of their turns, they saw a large, tan colored bull standing casually by the stop sign, grazing on some grass.
As Cameron makes the turn, he exclaims "Hey, that was a cow!". We can see the huge beast munching away right at the edge of the road on the left as the headlights light the area up.

Cameron pulls to the shoulder of the road just after passing the bull and explains his concern that it will wander out on the road and cause an accident. Bulls can weigh as much as 2,000lbs and colliding with one would be a disaster for the people as well as the animal.

Cameron and Doreen debate making a call to report the bull but they quickly decide that the best action is to look for the nearest farm and try to find the owner. They know that they can't leave it standing beside the road.

Where this becomes amusing is after the two turn around, Doreen comments that the cow is actually a bull. Her grandson asks if it really is and how she knows. After a careful pause, she says "Well, you can tell." Cameron has obviously spotted what Doreen sees at the back end. Those and the horns suddenly make it obvious to Cameron that this is indeed a bull.
Cameron is a little nervous as he realizes that he has pulled up beside the bull and it is close enough to stare right in the passenger window. He jokingly pleads: "Please don't charge my car." and then says: "Hey buddy." as they roll past.

Cameron and Doreen found the farm just up the road and let the owner know that the bull had escaped from the field. They returned to make sure that all went smoothly. The last part of the video shows Cameron standing on the road as a car drives past, illuminating the enormous bull on the road as it makes its way home.

In fairness to Cameron, he has grown up around many animals, butt not bulls and cows. His grandmother, Doreen however, grew up on a dairy farm in Chilliwack B.C. and is quite an authority on the difference between a cow and a bull.

In rural Ontario (Canada) you just never know who you might meet on the side of the road after dark!
