HARTINGTON - John J. Bruns, farmer living east of Hartington, was tossed over a 5-foot fence by a bull but figures he might have given the animal a little help.
The bull, a two-year old Polled Shorthorn, charged Bruns while he was feeding calves. Bruns was knocked into a fence corner. The bull took another run at him and this time the impact sent him sailing over the fence.
Bruns was slightly bruised and sore—sore at the bull.
