Stampede leaves nasty mess in Madera

Scores of dead cows in Madera Co. ravine

Workers in Madera County on Monday were trying to remove several dozen dead cows from a ravine near Coarsegold.The cows apparently were spooked and stampeded over a granite cliff more than a week ago, according to Kirsten Gross, director of animal control in Madera County.

Although some of the animals lived through the fall, they were either so badly injured or so emaciated by the time they were discovered that they were euthanized Saturday by county sheriff’s deputies.
