SHELBY, Ohio — Officials at a northern Ohio vocational school say a steer attacked a veteran instructor during a meat processing class, and students reacted quickly by closing a gate to block the animal and calling 911.
The school's superintendent says Kucic hit his head and suffered broken bones and cuts. He was taken to a Columbus hospital, where he was in fair condition Thursday.
Investigators say the chute or students' voices may have spooked the steer. It was later killed.
The school is considering changing how livestock are brought to slaughter there.
