There were no fluffy cows to pet so she went for the next best thing.

Teehee.
As a post graduate student I did a clinical rotation in X-ray at a small rural hospital in Iowa.
Nothing happened first 2 nights and I was worried that I would have nothing to get evaluated on.
County coroner called and said be ready. Brought in a body bag on a gurney. Said “I need X-rays”.
Stupid me. I had studied all the positions and set up etc. I said how? He said doesn’t matter. Head, thorax, whatever. Just give me some views.
When we started getting the wet films out of the processor (pre digital) they were a mash of a farmer that was killed by his bull.
I had worked around cattle but that gave me a new appreciation for what they can do.

Guess the movie

Quote
    Harry Monroe: I'm a clown, see? I shoot the firecrackers and the soda water. There's a little car that pulls up and there's supposed to be like 10 midgets in it. They all get out...
    Blade: That ain't no rodeo clown! A rodeo clown is the most *dangerous* job in the world! He's the one that gets *closest* to the bull. He gets the *best* of the bull! *Hook* to the left! *Hook* to the side! If the bull rider is in *danger*, he's gotta protect him! Even if it means gettin' his *ribs* pulled out and bein' freight-trained.
    Harry Monroe: Freight-trained!
    Blade: That's right. Run over, just like a freight train, only with a *bull*, it's worse! Cause a freight train don't back up and finish the job. Later on I'll show you the proper way to lie on the stretcher when they come to pick you up.

Ag Department inspector shows up at a farmer's place and told him he's going to "inspect" the fields.

Farmer asks if he has a warrant, so the Ag Department inspector pulls out a badge and says "You're producing FOODSTUFFS, so this BADGE is all the authorization I need!"

Farmer says "OK, just stay away from the cattle in the back 40 and their bull."

Ag inspector's eyes light up. "Why that's EXACTLY where I'm doing my inspection!"

Couple of minutes later the farmer hears screams coming from the back 40, where the Ag inspector is being chased by the bull - who's obviously going to catch the Ag inspector before he can reach & hop over the fence. "HELP! HELP!" screams the Ag inspector. "THAT BULL IS GOING TO KILL ME!"

Farmer yells "YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!"

Back when I was a reporter we had a local farmer killed by his bull.

IIRC he was pretty badly injured and died in hospital.

Coroner (I knew, and was friendly with him) said it was a simple case of the farmer getting careless around what can be a VERY dangerous animal.
