BOLTON (CBS) – An animal is believed to have killed a volunteer on a farm in Bolton. The volunteer was identified as Kim Taylor, 73 years old.
“Taylor, a longtime volunteer at Cultivate Care Farms, was tending livestock in a barn alone when a sheep lunged at her and rammed her repeatedly,” said a statement from the Regional Emergency Communications Center. Nashoba Valley said.
The woman was seriously injured and went into cardiac arrest shortly after first responders arrived. She was taken to Marlborough Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Cultivate Care focuses on animal therapy. It describes the related cattle as a comfort animal.
