Heifer Escapes at Fair, Knocks Down Pursuer
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A 10-month-old heifer broke loose from her enclosure Tuesday afternoon at the Sonoma County Fair and tore through the fairgrounds, slightly injuring one would-be wrangler.
The cow’s owner and others chased her past a sports bar and the grandstand. “The more they chased her, the more the cow wanted to get away,” exhibits coordinator Sheila Quince said.
A young man lunged for the calf, got knocked over and made a trip to the first-aid station for his troubles.
