I honestly don't know, but in Indiana whoever owns this black bull would be in big trouble.

Maybe-maybe not, because of how the statute is worded. Note the underlined words.

99. Failure to keep domestic animals enclosed--Release of hog to live in wild or feral state--Penalties
A. Any person who:
1. Willfully omits to keep a domestic animal such person owns or has charge of within a suitable enclosure;
2. Allows the animal to be unrestrained or to run at large, with notice, actual or constructive, that the enclosure within which such animal is kept is open; or
3. Knowingly causes a domestic animal to escape confinement, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for each offense, or not more than thirty (30) days' imprisonment in the county jail for each offense, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Neither God nor man has ever built a fence high enough or strong enough to keep a determined animal in or an attorney out of any place either was set on leaving or entering.
(the cyclist (or his attorneys) will have to prove the stock owner willfully and knowingly allowed the animal to run loose)
