Aug. 7 (UPI) -- A Canadian Football League game in Saskatchewan took a wild turn when an escaped sheep ran out onto the field during halftime.

The sheep had been brought to the stadium for a youth rodeo as part of the Saskatchewan Roughriders' Country Night, but the animal got loose during halftime of the Roughriders' game against the Ottawa Redblacks.

The sheep led stadium staff on a chase around the field before being contained.

The Roughraiders identified the sheep as a ewe, but the animal was dubbed the "rally ram" by some fans online after the team scored a touchdown moments after the sheep was corralled.
