Really? Boredom is third?

Miller is survived by her husband, Leslie, and nine children.

I hope she had insurance.

Death by methane factory instead of meth lab.

Edna Miller, 53, of 2851 560th St. in Kalona, was trying to separate a bull from the rest of the cattle at her family farm when it attacked her

Isn't that kind of obvious? You know, NOT to try to forcibly remove a farking bull from it's herd?

Bulls are cows now?

Subby has gender issues.

/Theses cows give bad milk

Ummm...it's pretty much the only way though. Try it some time. It's the kind of thing that encouraged me to go to college.

If it wasn't for your bull, you wouldn't have spent that year in college?

What specifically did the bull DO? Trample her? Knock her down and stomp on her? Bite her? Gore her? (if it has horns) (they all do, don't they?)

/whenever you can spare the time Toro....

Judging by the recent themes in Iowa-related stories on Fark, I would have guessed that the leading cause of death in the state was machete attacks.

Wolsey: Really? Boredom is third?

Embarrassment must be fourth

Fark's Sake: Judging by the recent themes in Iowa-related stories on Fark, I would have guessed that the leading cause of death in the state was heart attacks.

/Native Iowan

FTFY, as per the anime convention thread...

sometimes the livestock realizes....... that its bigger than you.

/Another clo......... No Way am I going to make a joke about 9 kids coming from her ...Damn you ... NO. NO. NO... uggggggggg. Nooooooooooo.

//Why yes. Farming is dangerous. Death by animal is better than a combine harvesting you piece by piece.

What a dangerous cow from a fly-over state might look like ...

I'll just leave this here.

It was a cow born into a bull's body.

Ambivalence: I remember reading a statistic that more people are killed by pigs every year than are killed by sharks and thinking "How the hell does someone get killed by a pig?" (not a boar mind you, a pig which is different).



Let Brick Top explain it to you (new window)

subby fails to copulate because has no idea there is a difference between the thing called COW and the thing called BULL

so sad

Marcintosh: subby fails to copulate

As does most of Fark...

/it's so cold

Marcintosh: subby fails to copulate because has no idea there is a difference between the thing called COW and the thing called BULL

To be fair, the bull was overweight and had man-udders.

bet she won't make that misteak again

EET MOR CHIKIN!! WEE WIL NOT STAWP! EW HAV BIN WORND!!!!

/got nothing

In my family, the important thing is that at least she did it working.

/lives on a cattle ranch
//glad the Brahmas are gone

Having driven across Iowa, I thought death there was mostly caused by having to live in farking IOWA!

Apparently Mexico was known for putting all manner of animals together in pens to see who would clober who. I'm told full grown bulls were known for killing grIzzly bears, lions and many other animals you'd think would kill the bull.

Apparently this woman didn't get the memo and got the horns.

Bummers.

Was it a sharia cow? Because you know those marauding bands of sharia practitioner cows
are scary.

TomD9938:

I was just going to point that out: a boy cow is called a bull. Unless he's had his gonads chewed off by weasels, in which case...

Huck And Molly Ziegler: What specifically did the bull DO? Trample her? Knock her down and stomp on her? Bite her? Gore her? (if it has horns) (they all do, don't they?)

cattle, unlike horses, don't bite.

dairy cows in the united states are almost always dehorned, as are the natural service sires (bulls). beef cattle may or may not be dehorned. but you may be a farking idiot if you don't dehorn your bulls (bulls are intact and used for breeding cows, steers are castrated and used for beef).

if it had horns, it likely gored her. if it didn't, it bucked, tossed and trampled her. either way, not a pleasant way to go. they probably have a herd of beef cattle, the cows should all be pregnant by now so that they will calve (give birth) in spring. bulls are notoriously aggressive when they no longer have any cows to breed (think blue balls). according to the article, the bull had a history of being aggressive and was being culled (removed) from the herd to be sold the next day to prevent exactly this sort of thing from happening. it's a very unfortunate sequence of events.

cattle, especially bulls, are unpredictable. an animal that has always been gentle and nonaggressive can flip out and attack you with no warning, completely unprovoked. we have about 250 head of dairy cattle and use bulls for breeding instead of artificial insemination. if the bulls show ANY sign of aggression they are shipped the next day, no questions asked. 2000lbs of snorting rage is NOT something you take lightly.

Anybody else read that as "attacked by a crow"?

Kalona woman killed by bull

She attended the latest session of congress? ???

That really sucks for that family.
RIP farmer lady.
