Beachy told The Jackson Sun he warned Isbell to be careful around the bull and to summon him for help before separating the cattle."
Yea and how many cows would the neighbor's (probably undesirable) bull have bred while poor Mr. Isabell was waiting for Beachy to get there? If you drive 18 wheelers for a living there is a good chance you are going to die in one, dittoe with driving tanks, digging coal, building skyscrapers, and herding cattle; but it is a real bummer when you get killed by the lazy neighbor's out of control bull.

Where does it say that the cattle and calves being sorted belonged to Mr. Isbell? Doesn't say who's property he was on either. Does state who the bull belonged to, that is all.
Isbell had separated the calves from the rest of the herd and was trying to return the bull and cows back to the pasture when the bull attacked him.
All this tells me is who the bull belonged to and that Mr. Isbell was trying to return the cows and bull to the pasture (doesn't say who the pasture belong to) after separating out the calves. Maybe you have acess to more information that we aren't privy to. I don't know but their is very little information revealed in the story other than the tragedy.

Guess I should have cut an pasted the whole article from the first link, cause I over looked the work "their" in it more than once trying to ascertain that he was in fact on his own property or someone else's. Might would have caught it like I did while cutting, pasting and comparing both articles to defend what I read. Now the second article does give more information, but it is now the one that leaves to question who's cowlot he was in cause it uses the word "the", which is how I read the first link every time. I give up. Apologies to Brandon22 and a moment of silence for Mr. Isbell.

Ervin":1v5o43gf said:Hey guys, just wanted to offer you some "correct" information on the bull killing. I was one of the first responders that was actually on the scene. The bull did not knock down lazy neighbor mr. beachy's fence.The bull had been borrowed from a man named Bobby Pickett. Joe Beachy was simple a neighor and a good friend who had offered to help him with his cattle. Mr. Beachy does have cattle in his neighboring farm and did know that the bull was dangerous. I personally know Mr. beachy and he'd certainly be panicking if he thought someone was going to press charges for his genorosity. The bull appeared to be about 1,200 lb. pure bred angus about 2 years old. Mr. Isbell had an axe handle over at the gate but apperrently only took the little broom handle in with him. Well I hope thet helps you guys out. Ervin.
