YOU'VE heard of a bull in a china shop, but what about a bullock in a supermarket?
In the summer of 2013, the local SuperValu store in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo had a visit from a bull they will never forget.
It was local mart day and customers and staff were going about their business in Cummin's SuperValu supermarket when the sliding doors opened and a young bull crashed into the store causing havoc.
"Within a split second there was a big huge bang", says one member of staff describing the events.
Scroll down to watch the CCTV footage...
While the bullock made a beeline for the butcher, the farmer who owned the bull arrived in pursuit.
While the farmer was looking for his prize livestock, the bullock was out the back of the supermarket charging at its nemesis - the butcher.
The bullock then turned around and "scared the living daylights" out of the farmer, chasing him up the aisle before crashing into baskets loaded with goods.
As the CCTV footage shows, the bullock exited the shop the same way he came in, through the sliding doors.
Eventually, the bullock was guided back into a field, thankfully, without injuring anyone.
Here's what's happened...
1. Bull decides to leave the mart and check out the shops
2. Here he is strolling down the aisle
3. Obviously the bullock isn't a fan of the butcher...
4. Or the farmer who he chases out the door
5. There's just enough time to cause some destruction in the fruit and veg section...
