In Leon County, Texas, a rancher had to be airlifted to a hospital while another individual was transported via ambulance following an encounter with what officials described as “an unhappy cow” on Monday morning.

Leon County Emergency Management (LCEM) shared on Facebook that “AirMed 12 N” was dispatched to transport the injured rancher after the cow attack.

According to FOX 26 in Houston, emergency services were called to the scene around 9 a.m. The location is about 90 miles east of Waco, Texas, and is situated roughly midway between Houston and Dallas.

Responding units included LCEM and other emergency medical crews from the area.

Kraus’s daughter said during the inquiry that she realized the rooster must have caused her father’s death after she saw blood on its claws. She also revealed the same rooster had previously attacked her daughter.

Corey O’Keefe, a tenant at Kraus’s house, was questioned about the incident and said he returned home from work at 8 a.m. that morning, fed the animals and asked Kraus how he was doing before heading off to bed. A little while later, O’Keefe reported, Kraus was screaming for help.

When O’Keefe went out to see what was wrong, he saw blood spurting from a large wound on the back of Kraus’s calf, along with two other scratches.

The victim went in and out of consciousness, O’Keefe reportedly said, and at one point said the word “rooster.” Kraus was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.

The coroner recorded Kraus’s death as misadventure, or an accident, describing the incident as a dreadful experience for the family.
