latest news bull in pool  | | | | To celebrate the completion of his new swimming pool, Jamie Stewart invited a few friends and family over for a dip. But the last thing the bemused host expected was to be disturbed by a gatecrasher- in the shape of half-ton bull. The massive animal had escaped from a nearby field and was being chased by farm-hands when he crashed into Mr Stewarts garden - and dived headlong into the water. And such a large beast could hardly use the step-ladder to climb out, he was forced to tread water for the next three hours until fireman could drain away the water and hoist him back onto dry land. Last night Mr Stewart described his astonishment at the unexpected visitor who had taken the first swim in his new pool. The 41 year old said: I absolutely couldnt believe my eyes. There was a bull swimming in our new pool. `I think he had perfected his front crawl by the time he was rescued` The dramatic pool party took place on friday. Work had just been completed on the luxury outdoor heated swimming pool Mr Stewart had ordered for his home. Workmen had spent the day pumping in ten thousand gallons of water and Mr Stewart`s guests started to arrive in the late afternoon for the inaugural swim. However celebrations took a surprise turn when a two year old bull from a neighboring farm jumped a fence and escaped from his pasture. The young animal, whose full show name is Broombrae Tramp, was apparently intent on making closer acquintance with a herd of cows in another field. But when his owner, Alexander Jack, gave chase, the bull changed course and instead crashed into Mr Stewarts garden. The pool was covered at the time so the animal was unable to see the potential hazard, but immidiately burst through the canvas and began to splash about in the four foot deep water. While neighbours, friends and family crowded round to watch the drama unfold six fireman from the Fife brigade joined a local vet to help rescue the hapless party animal. Mr Stewart, a company director, added: ` My family and i stood back and let the emergency services do all the work.` `I dont think they were terribly pleased with us - we stood in the garden with the glasses of wine and shouted unhelpful suggestions` Mr Stewarts children Samantha, 12, Lucy, 10 and Finbar, 7 were delighted with the unusual party guest. He added: `The kids thought it was great. They were bit disappointed that they didnt get to have the swim they were planning but they ended up with a much better story to tell their friends.` Mr Stewarts partner Gillian runs Acorn nursery from the Kinaldy farmhouse, near St Andrews, but evacuated the children as a precaution. A three hour rescue attempt saw vet fire two tranquilliser bullets onto the bull - nicknamed Pedro by fireman - before the pool was drained and the rescue crew used a digger to lift him out. Broombrae Tramp is now recovering from his ordeal in a secure field. The outdoor heated pool, designed by Alba Pools, will need minor repairs and to be refilled. A spokeswomen for Fife fire and Rescue said: `It was very unusual call out but we sometimes deal with rescuing different animals` `Our crews are comprehensively trained so they are used to dealing with surprise situations but in this case they did take all their directions from the vet who was called to the scene` Farmer Mr Jack, from Lahill Craig Farm in Upper Largo, added: `The bull is only two years old and is the full of the joys of life. You know what young men are when they get beside a crowd of attractive women.` `Broombrae Tramp was bored being in our field and decided he`d join our neighbours cows.` `Before we knew what had happened, he had jumped the fence and was headed for Jamie`s swimming pool.` `We tried to catch him but our attempts to trap him in the next field went a bit askew.` `He is normally a very placid animal but he just wasnt willing to go home on Friday without a fight.` `Seeing the maiden cows got him a bit heated.` The farmer can only hope Broombrae Tramp`s unexpected dip has cooled his passion.
