Where's the beef? Runaway steer still roaming Rhode Island [View all]

JOHNSTON, R.I. (AP) — Where's the beef? Still very much on the mooove in Rhode Island.

More than a month after escaping while being unloaded at a slaughterhouse, a 1,600-pound (725-kilogram) steer is still roaming the streets of Johnston, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) west of Providence.

Police said Wednesday in a Facebook post that although they've been keeping loose track of the steer's whereabouts, they can't chase it, so their goal is to keep it contained to wooded areas where it can't endanger drivers or itself.

Officers posted a blurry nighttime photo of the bovine showing it on a residential street near a “Support Our Police” yard sign, and said it appears to be healthy and well-fed.
