June 10 (UPI) -- Animal control officers in Milwaukee experienced a unique situation when they were called to round up a nearly 200-pound sheep wandering loose in the city.

The Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission said local police received a report of a sheep on the lam on Forest Home Avenue on Friday morning.

The sheep was located around 23rd and Rogers and was loaded into a transport van.

"We were going to put him inside our facility, and then he got here and we realized he was way too big to go inside," MADACC representative Kate Hartlund told WISN-TV.

She said the organization created an outdoor space for the nearly 200-pound sheep and set about helping the animal to cool down with shade and water.
