An aggressive beefalo that hoofed it from a Plymouth slaughterhouse almost a month ago remained at large Monday.

Despite the efforts of a state and local police team with a drone in the sky and officers in the woods, the half-ton bull evaded capture.

A cross between cattle and bison, the beefalo escaped on Aug. 3 as it was being taken off a trailer at Plymouth Meats. Since then, some people have been rallying to save the animal on community Facebook pages, while others have pondered the number of prime steaks it would produce.

Beefalo is the hybrid of domesticaed cattle and the American Bison.
