Dogs back home after mauling calf in town

A pair of dogs attacked a calf Sunday in the 300 block of Burbridge St. in Marion.

According to a report from Marion police, the dogs were returned to their owner in the 300 block of Grant St., and the incident remains under investigation.

Interim Police Chief Zach Hudlin said police were waiting for veterinarian bills from the calf’s injuries.

Calves typically weigh between 70 to 80 pounds at birth, Chisholm Trail extension agent Bret Toews said.

A child of that weight is typically between 8 and 12 years old.

Police did not state the breed of the dogs, nor did they identify the owners of the dogs or the calf.

The dogs would have had to cross a railroad track to reach the calf.
