MILES CITY — Custer County officials say a 63-year-old Miles City auction yard employee was trampled to death by a bull.



Deputy Coroner Ben LeBrun says Mike McKenzie was helping load some black Angus bulls into a semi-trailer at the Miles City Livestock Commission Tuesday evening when one of the bulls turned back and trampled him.



McKenzie was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

I always hate seeing this. Auction markets have to be the worst. I have seen some pretty crazy things at the market. Let's remember it is calving season, and we don't want to hear about anybody getting hurt. A dead calf is no big deal next to a dead owner.

maybe this was a first time thing for this bull, but if i ever unload one at the barn that i think or know has a bad attitudel, i tell whoever is writing the tickets. that way, hopefully the word gets passed down the line. but sometimes a guys just in the wrong spot at the right time.

It was more than one bull. Someone must have bought them at the
sale and the accident happened the next day when they were loading
the bulls onto a trailer to take them home. I don't know if they were
salvage type bulls, or were bulls that were sold for breeding bulls.
