        BRULE, Wis. (UPI) -- A northern Wisconsin woman was recovering Tuesday
from injuries she suffered when she was hit by a flying cow.
        Violet Wentela, 72, was moving one of her beef cows off the road
Sunday when it was hit by a car, became airborne and hit Wentela before
coming to rest in a ditch on the other side of the road.
        Wentela was taken by ambulance to a Duluth, Minn., hospital where she
was treated for bumps and bruises and held overnight for observation.
        State Patrol Trooper Mike Brostowitz said the car that hit the cow
sustained about $2,000 damage. He said the cow weighed nearly 600
pounds.
        Wentela is expected to recover fully from her injuries but the cow
was not so lucky.
        ``Butchered for hamburger,'' Wentela said.
