Some calls for service require a little extra horsepower or, in this case, bull power.
On Tuesday evening, San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to assist the California Highway Patrol (CHP) after a large bull was found running loose along Highway 35. Photos released by the department captured officers attempting to corral the animal, as well as the moment a good Samaritan arrived and helped bring the wandering bull under control.
According to the sheriff’s department, after hours of unsuccessfully attempts to corral the animal, deputies decided to call in someone with the right expertise. That’s where Half Moon Bay community member Samuel Ramos Palomino came in to save the day and assist authorities in moving the unyielding animal back to it’s home.

Palomino, a foreman at Sea Horse Ranch with 35 years of experience working with large animals, was asleep when deputies reached out shortly after midnight. Despite having to be at work at 4 a.m., he immediately got up, prepared his truck and livestock trailer and came to help.
What followed was no easy task, authorities said.
