SHREVEPORT, La. – A Louisiana sheriff’s deputy is recovering after being trampled and gored in the leg by a bull.
It happened just after 2:30 p.m. Monday as Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Stock Patrol Sgt. Gary Bailey responded to calls from several drivers about a bull on the loose in south Shreveport.
The animal reacted aggressively and attacked Bailey when he tried to capture it, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
Bailey was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released.
Meantime, cowboys from the Panola County, Texas, livestock auction captured the bull. Its owner has decided to have the animal sold at auction due to its aggressive behavior.
Caddo Sheriff's Stock Patrol deputy was injured in a loose livestock call earlier today, said Sheriff Steve Prator.
Just after 2:30 p.m. several drivers called in about a bull running around the 5000 block of Williams Road. Stock Patrol Sgt. Gary Bailey responded to the scene and attempted to capture the bull. The bull reacted aggressively, trampled and gored Sgt. Bailey in the leg.
Deputies transported Sgt. Bailey to an area hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
Meanwhile, cowboys from the Panola Livestock Auction came to capture the bull. The owner of the bull decided to have the animal sold at auction due to its aggressive behavior.

I saw a bull gore a Toyota Tundra in someone's driveway once. It did a number on the truck, and I was debating whether or not to tase it (cue Forrest Gump "I'm not a smart man") when the owner arrived and got it under control. They are dangerous creatures for sure.

I would pay at least $100 to see you tase a rampaging bull. Thanks for the chuckle. I needed that.

LE responsibility should end once the animal rights activist hotline answers.

If anyone points a red Taser at you run away. Fast.

I carry a box of 12ga slugs tucked away in my duty bag for large game (all our shotguns are less lethal) for situations like this.

I’d been out of the academy about three weeks. I came in for the three PM shift, the chief was yelling on the radio for us to get on the road. A cow had escaped from a pen a the Landmark property. They had got it onto the state patrol property. For some reason our day shift sergeant fired at at it or it charged him first (1989, my memory is a little fuzzy) with a Dutch loaded shotgun. It hit him head on. We got there about the time they were putting him in the ambulance. The trauma plate in his vest was bent. The shotgun was sticking in the ground muzzle first. Mt FTO and a trooper moved up on the cow and finished her off with a couple slugs.

Can't remember where I heard it, but I've been told that large mammals are more sensitive to an EDW.
I'm not interested in testing the theory.

That’s consistent with the training Axon (Taser) provides. The more muscle you have, the more muscle gets involved in the neuromuscular incapacitation.

The "fun" would probably have started after the ride was over. We could have tried hoofcuffing under power...:cool:

50/50 chance the bull gets up and runs away vs. the bull gets up and gores you?

We had a rodeo one night with a yearling bull that somehow ended up on an Interstate. The first unit that responded was flagged down by a witness on an off ramp and promptly rear ended by a motorist with resulting injuries. As senior LT I responded and was taking a statement in my cruiser while a reconstructionist worked the scene.
Half way thru I watched a half dozen volunteer firemen run past chasing said yearling. Feeling like I’m in Super Troopers Pt III, I radioed the sergeant who was coordinating the blocking of the ramp that if the beastie tried to get on the interstate proper we needed to destroy it. “YES SIR!”
Fifteen or twenty minutes later I hear one of our younger guys on the radio, out of breath and excited “Sarge, I got him!”. Seems my hypothetical became a kill order and our guy chased the little fellow a quarter mile up the mountain and shot it. Eight times in the head with a .40S&W. He’s a firearms instructor and hunter, apparently the immature beef was unimpressed with handgun ballistics.

Most of the ranchers I know use .22 shotshells around bulls, if needed.

My neighbor up the road was killed by a bull. He had raised it from a calf and guess he got complacent. I was in the house so didn't hear the screaming. Hell of a way to die.

That's a joke right?
Spending considerable time around bulls, 30-06 with either Nosler Partitions or TSX belongs in the truck. Heavy .357 and up on the belt.
My grand dad was almost killed by a bull and wore an epic scar on his head, anyone seeing an angry bull doing angry bull stuff knows.
They'll total fences, corrals, trucks, trailers, tourists, hikers and cowpokes, just for fun.
Even wild range cows can and will toss you.

When I was a kid we had a neighbor that butchered a steer or two every year. That was a long time ago and don't recall exactly, but he put them down with an old lever rifle. I want to say it was a 32-20 between the eyes. It was a much smaller cartridge than a 30-30. One shot kills.
I don't think anyone butchers their own cattle anymore except maybe in Wyomin.

There are several small meatpackers around our area that slaughter cows and hogs. One of the guys I know uses a .22 for hogs, not sure about cattle.

On a related note...
The Colorado Springs PD now brings in SWAT to deal with escaped buffalo.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/colorado-springs-escaped-bison_n_1250589
In an incident now known as the 'Great bison massacre of 2005,' five of the animals -- each weighing close 1,000 pounds -- escaped from the G&C meatpacking plant in western Colorado Springs. The creatures holed up in a nearby backyard where officers, afraid the animals could spook, stampede through the city, and hurt bystanders, decided to put them down.
83 bullets and approximately $30,000 in collateral damage later (no one was hurt), officers realized their .223 caliber bullets didn't have the oomph necessary to do the job safely and effectively. CSPD learned from the incident and updated their response policy accordingly.

What y’all are missing with your .22 banter is that during the kill stage of slaughter livestock are restrained in a chute that limits physical movement of the animal. Once restrained, the animal is stunned either via an air bolt, like from no country for old men, a .22 or electric shock to ensure a humane end with no pain. Stunning also results in decreased stress of the animal and superior meat quality.

None of that has any relevance to a loose bull much less a loose bull on a rampage.

No, I was responding to a post about slaughter. If you'd like, I'll alert the media that a PF thread had some thread drift.
And, thanks for the info, but already knew the details. Dad was a butcher and I generally spent a month or so each year on a friend's farm.
