Officers spent several hours chasing another steer from the same owner the previous day.
The steer was eventually captured and placed back into its pasture.
Officers located the owner, Bi Kan No, who said the steer had also escaped the pasture at 4 a.m. that morning.
No was issued a citation for permitting livestock to run at large or stray.
No told officers the steer was currently tied to a tree and would be slaughtered, as was the fate of the other steer that was at large the previous day.
