Animal Control officials who captured a 700-pound bull found wandering in an Illinois backyard say the bovine has been taken in by an official.

Will County Animal Control Director Leroy Schild said the bull he captured Sunday with the help of others in a Joliet backyard has been taken to his Mokena property where it will remain until its owner is found, the Joliet Herald News reported Tuesday.

"I'm probably going to call him El Toro," Schild said of the bull.

He said the bull has "adjusted" to his new home at Schild's ranch.

"He's just out in the pasture, grazing grass," he said.

Schild said no one was injured by the bull and the animal did not damage any property.

"He's in a very nice place," Schild said.

"I'm glad it worked out as well as it did," he said. "I'm happy that the animal is safe and well, and nobody got hurt."
