Campbellsport Police Put Down Rogue Steer
12 December 2018 News
Police in Campbellsport Tuesday morning had to put down a rogue steer that got loose from a meat processor. In fact the big steer busted through a gate at Loehr’s Meat Service, which is just up the street from the police department. Police Chief Tom Dornbrook says someone notified one of his officers that the steer was out of control. “They ended up following it through the village and it was getting wilder and more out of control, and charging around.” Dornbrook says they didn’t have time for a Fond du Lac Sheriff’s deputy to arrive with a tranquilizer gun because it was nearing time when kids would be walking to school. An officer shot the steer in an area where there were no homes lined up behind the steer, but the shot didn’t put it down. The deputy arrived after that and they got another opportunity to shoot the steer and this time killed it. No one was injured by the steer.
