Investigation Summary
On April 29, 2010, Employee #1 a dairy milker, was attempting to adjust some milk cows that had bunched together at the end of the milking line. As Employee #1 was herding the cow backwards, Employee #1 reached out with his left hand and grabbed hold of the railing for balance. As one cow came away from the group, she rushed forward into the milk stanchion, causing it to lift up to accommodate her head. As the stanchion lifted up, Employee #1 left ring finger was positioned next to the locking mechanism and ended up being amputated at the very tip as the gate lifted. Employee #1 was not hospitalized.
