DOVER, Minn. — A southeastern Minnesota woman is accused of hitting her brother-in-law with a hatchet in a dispute about cows. Brenda Kay Shorter of Dover faces two counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, according to Olmsted County prosecutors. The alleged attack happened last week in Dover Township. Shorter, 35, told deputies she "just lost control" and struck the man on the head, court records said. A current phone listing for Shorter wasn't available. The alleged victim told officers he had a dispute with the woman over how he treated his cows.

Another senseless hatchet attack over cows. When will the madness end!

Is “Shorter” also b-in-l name? He should be thankful he isn’t a head shorter.

[AnAmericanMother]

Yikes!

Looks like he got a few licks in on her too, whether with or without a hatchet.

Why can't they just call it a draw, shake hands, and go back to the farm. The cows need their afternoon milking . . . .

Someone should have told her, “Don’t have a cow.”

“How many trailers are involved in this story I wonder...”

I figure at least a two trailer story as well as one car up on blocks.
