The claim alleges that ABC Ltd., an unidentified company believed to be the owner and operator of the ranch, is responsible for the cattle and at fault for letting the cattle stray onto the road. Buse alleges that his truck collided with the cattle, resulting in neck, shoulders, arms, back and chest injuries. Buse is seeking general and special damages as well as healthcare costs from the cattle rancher for the incident. A statement of response had not been filed by press time.
