A rampaging steer charged Jane Allen's dad at his central Hamilton home
Jane Allen thought her father was dead as she fled from a rogue steer that had butted and stomped the 90-year-old man to the deck of his Hamilton house in a scene she likened to a horror movie.
The bizarre and near fatal drama involved a frantic cattle chase through a house, brave rescuers and gun-toting police turned cowboys herding the angry steer with a ute after its final attack on its victim as he was being wheeled into an ambulance.
