A forklift was used to install a 3,000lb (1,360.8kg) steel bull sculpture outside a livestock market in Yankton, South Dakota.

John Herrboldt of Herrboldt Construction told Yankton Press and Dakotan it took 30 minutes to lift the steel bull onto pillars, bolt its feet down and fasten its 500lb (226.8kg) head.

Gail Solhers, the sale barn owner, says the bull's head bobs when the wind blows.

"When people drive by and see that huge bull out there with his head bobbing in the wind, it'll catch their attention.

"Hopefully it won't cause any (auto) accidents."
