Brick tenderized beef

Ok so here's the story behind the dead cow and pile of bricks. My DH went outside one evening and found our 650lb calf nursing on our family milk cow. He picked up a piece of brick to throw toward the calf(not at) thinking it landing at her feet would scare her, she must have moved or his aim is much worse than he thought. Anyway he hit her back and she fell to the ground dead as a doornail. The guys at work have never let him forget it, so for his birthday this week they requested a surprise cake to remind him LOL
