According to CNN, the runaway bull was transported to the Animal Care Center in Brooklyn before Jon brought it to his animal sanctuary. Sylvia Moskovitz with the Watkins Glen shelter in New York told the site that members of Farm Sanctuary negotiated with the organization a voluntary release for the bull.
After spending the weekend at the Stewart family farm, the bull will be transported to Cornell University Hospital for Animals and becomes a steer.
