GRANDMA DIES PROTECTING HER GRANDSON FROM A CHARGING COW!

What a cow-tastrophe!

An Iowa grandmother gave her life to protect her grandson - shielding him from a rampaging cow that charged at them.

Jean Fee, 60, was tragically trampled by the cantankerous cow on her family's Urbana farm on Saturday, police said.

"The best we can figure is the cow became aggressive, and my mom was protecting my nephew, and the cow hit her with its head and it stopped her heart," her son Matt Fee told the Des Moines Register.

The 1-year-old child was unhurt.

The cow had recently given birth to three calves that were with her in the pasture when the attack occurred.

Terry Engelken, a professor of veterinary medicine at Iowa State University said the cow's motherly instinct may have set off the attack.

"It's common for them to become aggressive if they have a newborn calf," he said. "We also just see differences in temperament in cows like we see in dogs and cats and people."

Still, Engelken says it is pretty rare for a cow to attack a human.
