(PAOLI) - A Paoli man died from a head injury while separating calves from their mothers on Wednesday.

According to Orange County Sheriff Richard Dixon, police received a 911 call at 10 a.m. Tuesday requesting an ambulance to 2082 East State Road 56.
Dixon says Meadows was knocked down by the cattle and suffered a head injury and was bleeding.
