Narrative

An employee was driving cattle in a pen corral. The employee climbed up a pen rail to keep from being rammed by an aggressive cow. The cow's horns caught his boot and pulled him to the ground inside the pen. He suffered fractures to the left tibia and fibula, as well as an injured left shoulder.
