The Minnesota Chainsaw Massacre

Gruesome event related to raising livestock-spoilered-read at your own risk.
Spoiler
Had a steer hang itself in a gate-an odd event that happens once in a great while over years of raising cattle.

Chose to cut the head off with a chainsaw rather than pry with bars and so forth to get him out. Blood was gone by this time-but pants and chainsaw got covered in meat chunks.

Afterwards, while I was cleaning meat chunks of (and out of) chainsaw-and while I still had meat chunks on my pants- a salesman drove in and, I didn't want to give him the wrong idea( that I had cut up my family and friends) so I explained what had happened. I am afraid my confusing explanation-left him more confused and scared than no explanation would have.

That's one way to scare off salesmen!

Could this tragedy have been avoided? Did the steer show signs of depression or suicidal thoughts? Or were its family and friends as surprised as you?

Well, 1st they change you from a bull to a steer. I imagine that could be depressing. Then you find out what the fate of a steer is to be...

The old suicidal steer gambit. Likely story! I would like to see reassurances from Mrs. Spock and all the youthful Spocklets that all is well in Spockland (Except for the expired bovine, at any rate.)

Obviously we need to ban gates and license chainsaws.
