Clark owned a small dairy farm in Delaware. Thinking to add to his larder, he bought a black steer at Dill’s auction down the road to fatten a beef for the family.
He put the steer in a grazing pasture with the dairy heifers. In a short time he noticed the steer was trying to breed the heifers. Not a good thing on a dairy farm. He decided to take him back to the sale the next week. In the meantime, he needed to separate him from the heifers.
His son Bob and he managed to drive him into an old laying hen house they were using for hay storage. Over the week the steer’s attitude began to worsen. Finally the day came. They decided they would try to rope him and move him into a box stall in order to load him on a cattle truck.
