Golbuff said the man was conscious and his injuries appeared to be non-life threatening, but he was transferred as a precautionary measure.

Golbuff reported bleeding from the mouth and jaw area, among other areas.

At this time it is unclear whether more than one cow was involved and whether the man was somehow knocked down before being stepped on.
