Ohio school considers changes after steer attacks, injures instructor in meat processing class

SHELBY, Ohio - Officials at a northern Ohio vocational school say a steer attacked a veteran instructor during a meat processing class, and students reacted quickly by closing a gate to block the animal and calling 911.

WJW-TV in Cleveland ( http://bit.ly/x5dloJ) reports that Bill Kucic (KOO'-sihk) was leading the 1,200-pound steer to be put down when it turned on him in a chute and flipped him into the air last week at Pioneer Career and Technology Center in Shelby.

The school's superintendent says Kucic hit his head and suffered broken bones and cuts. He was taken to a Columbus hospital, where he was in fair condition Thursday.

Investigators say the chute or students' voices may have spooked the steer. It was later killed.

The school is considering changing how livestock are brought to slaughter there.

It happens if you have an animal that isn't handled well it's whole life. Sometimes they spook easily.

The ones that you really have to be careful of are the steer who are actually stags.

 

Just gotta' wrap your arms around his face and go for the ride until he's wore out.

My question why was he standing in the chute in the first place? Complacency will get your neck broke fast.

 

 

I guess I'll make my morning productive reading this.
