Spooked buffalo on the run after farm escape

-

Farmers of a buffalo destined for the frying pan are appealing for help after the beast jumped a fence and went on the run in Fife.

Staff at Scotland’s largest buffalo farm are offering up a free Christmas dinner to anyone who can help find the one-year-old buffalo after it escaped on Saturday.

There is growing concern for the 400kg animal, which jumped a gate during a routine weighing at Buffalo Farm in Kirkcaldy and spooked itself when it fell down a bank. Farm owner Stevie Mitchell said he was “absolutely petrified” for the animal.
