The Bull statue in Verona was installed in front of Joel's Front Yard Steak House when this photo was taken in 2009. The garland-wearing bull was named "Lucky". Supposedly, a tractor trailer transporting the statue to Cananda broke down in the Steak House parking lot many years ago. The statue never left.

By 2018, the restaurant had been demolished and the statue was moved to private property. In 2019, the statue appeared at the Oneida County Fair before moving back to his unknown location.
