Oklahoma livestock farmer killed by water buffaloes he purchased just one day before fatal attack
A Jones, Oklahoma, farmer was attacked and killed by a pair of water buffaloes he acquired at a livestock auction just a day earlier, according to police. The Jones Police Department said Monday that officers responded to an emergency call just after 10:30 p.m. on Friday, regarding an individual who was attacked by water buffalo at a farm. When first responders arrived, they were unable to reach the victim, later identified as Bradley McMichael, because of the aggressive behavior of a water buffalo. In order to allow safe access to McMichael, officials shot and killed one of the water buffalo. The officers then gained entry to the scene and discovered that McMichaels had sustained multiple deep lacerations that proved to be fatal. When investigators were processing the scene, a second water buffalo started to become more and more agitated and began to pose a threat to emergency personnel. Police said the second animal was killed to ensure everyone on the scene was safe. A preliminary investigation determined that the two water buffaloes were responsible for the fatal injuries McMichael sustained. Investigators also learned McMichael purchased the two water buffaloes at a livestock auction on July 10, just a day before he was killed. Detectives suspect McMichael became trapped inside the water buffalo enclosure while he was tending to his new animals. Amy Smith, McMichael's ex-wife, told television station KFOR his passion was caring for livestock. "The cattle farming, that's his thing," Smith told the station. "He's been here his whole life, and he's done that his whole life. "So, he's an experienced cattle handler and a farmer," she added.

Farmer killed in water buffalo attack, Oklahoma police say
JONES, Okla. (AP) — A farmer in a rural suburb outside of Oklahoma City was fatally attacked by a pair of water buffaloes he purchased at a livestock auction a day earlier, police said. Bradley McMichael, a farmer in the small town of Jones suffered deep lacerations in the attack Friday night, Jones Police Chief Bryan Farrington said in a statement. The animals were so aggressive that first responders couldn't get to the victim at first, he said. One water buffalo was euthanized immediately and the other was put down after it became increasingly agitated and threatening, Farrington said. Police say they believe McMichael had purchased the two animals a day earlier and became trapped inside in an enclosure while he was tending to them. McMichael's former wife, Amy Smith, said caring for livestock was his passion. 'The cattle farming, that's his thing,' Smith told television station KFOR. "He's been here his whole life, and he's done that his whole life. 'So he's an experienced cattle handler and a farmer.' Although water buffalo are not commonly raised in the U.S., they are known for their milk production and lean cuts of beef, according to the Arkansas Farm Bureau.
