Charles Marchant told WTOC-TV that straight-line winds extensively damaged his barn, sucked water from a trough and may have even thrown one of his cows.

He says the bull moved from one pasture to another.

“We had one bull wind up in this pen where the horses were at, and we couldn’t figure out how he got there because the gates were shut,” he explained.

After the storm, the National Weather Service came out and confirmed to Marchant that the storm had “literally lifted a bull from one pasture to another.”

The NWS says there’s no way to know for sure what happened to the bull, but the legend is taking the community by storm.
