A woman in New Jersey suffered multiple injuries on Friday after being attacked by her own bull.
According to the Sparta Township Police, dispatchers were made aware of an aggressive animal that was roaming the roadway at around 3 p.m. Reports said it was a cow that was approaching vehicles in the area, but once Officer Arlene Lippencott was already on her way to the scene, a woman named Wendy McDermott called to inform deputies that the animal was actually a bull and that she was the owner.
Yahoo Lifestyle was unable to reach McDermott, but police say she planned to bring the bull back into its enclosure with food, despite the fact that the animal had been acting combative. Lippencott even saw the bull begin to mount its owner’s SUV.
But the attack didn’t end there. Once McDermott exited the car — attempting to coax the animal through an open gate to her farm — the animal began to physically throw her around.

How many of us thought it was another pit bull story?
(raises hand)
A good cattle dog would have settled that bull down.
Is this another one of those ‘youtube’ instant farmers? Yeah...that’s what bulls do. Come after ya.
I've been watching Youtube videos of the old-school vet who practices in rural Michigan, "Dr. Pol". Frequently, animals break loose and he and the farmers have to go chasing them all over the place. I keep asking, "Where are the cattle or sheep dogs to round them up?" I know those canines are simply amazing in what they can do. Am I missing something?
I’m attacked by bull every time I hear a liberal talking.
CBS has “Combative Bull Syndrome”. Those who watch will be tossed around like rag dolls.
“A good cattle dog would have settled that bull down.”
Yup, I used to know a dairy farmer who used an Australian Blue heeler to bring in the cows. I felt sorry for any cow that didn’t comply right away.

Especially after the story of how steers come to be is leaked...
My grandfather used to keep a bull on his dairy farm.He had a cattle dog,just a heavy duty large farm dog.The bull would do whatever he could to avoid the dog.
The probabullity of probabull cause resulted in arrest.
These farting cows are gonna be the death of someone.
I hate when my own bull turns on me.
There goes my desire to get an emotional support bull.
That's a gross stereotype and just not true.
Our 2,500 lb. registered Angus bull is not aggressive at all.
Now, bulls are big and they can hurt you because of their massive size but they are not "wild" animals who "come after ya'." You would have to provoke them in some way for them to do that. Otherwise they are just big cows.
I rarely got off the school bus and not have to run thru the field if the bull was out...just to get to the house.
They all weren’t like that, but they seem to have a switch. Who knows what sets them off.
