Ricardo is recovering from his wild bull run in the Garden State.
The Texas Longhorn that escaped from a slaughterhouse and ran across train tracks in Newark on Thursday was filmed being gently awakened from sedation at its new home, Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in Wantage, New Jersey.
“Hi Ricardo. You look better than you did in a while, buddy,” Skylands founder Mike Stura gently tells the bewildered bovine, named after one of the police officers who helped carry him to safety.
“Do you know who I am? I’m your new dad! Stura tells him.
“Are you OK, friend. You are safe now. Nobody is going to mess with you anymore.
“Look how handsome you are! You only worry about getting better,” he says, telling the brown steer to “drink lots of water” and calling him a “good boy.”
Ricardo is seen resting on a bed of hay with a yellow numbered tag hanging from his ear and a few strands of straw decorating his forehead.

“He has had a long and hard day fighting for his life, fortunately it has been worth it,” the sanctuary wrote. “He Just look at how handsome he is.”
The rescue farm concluded by encouraging people to “do the right thing, go vegan.”

Officers from the Newark Police Emergency Services Unit and the Port Authority Police Department eventually tracked down the fugitive and cornered him in a fenced lot near Newark Intentional Liberty Airport, before he was transferred to the sanctuary of animals at Wantage, a 232-acre farm that is home to approximately 450 animals.
Ricardo is a Texas longhorn steer about a year and a half old, meaning a bull that has been castrated, and weighs between 750 and 800 pounds, Stura told The Post.
Ricardo is expected to be quarantined from other animals for several days as a precaution, before Stura decides which group of bulls and cows he will join.
“Hopefully he’ll get along and live a long and happy life here,” he said.
The bovine’s incredible day quickly went viral on Thursday, with the New York Red Bulls joking that he was probably just looking for their Newark soccer stadium.
“Please come home,” the club joked about the bull. After he was captured, the club said: “What a career.”
