An article in the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report finds that during 2003 to 2007, deaths occurring in the production of crops and animals in the United States totaled 2,334; of these, 108 (5%) involved cattle as either the primary or secondary cause.
To reduce the risk for death from cattle-caused injuries, the report continues, farmers and ranchers should be aware of and follow recommended practices for safe livestock-handling facilities and proper precautions for working with cattle, especially cattle that have exhibited aggressiveness.
