The bull was captured on CCTV entering Cummins' SuperValu in Ballinrobe, County Mayo.It made its way down an aisle to the store area, where it had a look around, before turning around and going out the same automatic door which it had come in.
John Cummins, the shop owner, said: "The bull ran down one aisle, and into the store area, where he had a good look around and came back out again.
"He then charged down another aisle, and out the front door again.
"Amazingly, no one came directly in his path or it could have been very bad news. it was a happy ending to a story that could have gone very wrong."
Mr Cummins continued: "Some of the staff ran after him when he went into the store, but they got out of the way again when he turned around to come out - and I wouldn't blame them.
"People were joking afterwards that our beef was fresh and fully traceable."
He added that the bull had passed a nearby Tesco to enter his shop.
By the time the bull was recaptured by its owner, a local farmer, the only damage was to the fruit and vegetable stand.
Shop assistant Bernie Morrin added: “There was a big huge bang and I didn’t know what it was at first.
"Then we saw the bull going out and the poor farmer running. He was coming in trying to get him (the bull) and the next thing he ran because the bull took off down the aisle and scared the daylights out of everyone.”
