CALGARY — A third animal has been euthanized at the Calgary Stampede’s rodeo competition.

The Stampede says a steer was injured Monday night in what it calls an unusual incident.

It says medical attention was provided, but a veterinarian made the humane decision to put down the steer.

A chuckwagon horse injured in a race Friday was also euthanized.

And another horse, ridden by an outrider during Saturday’s chuckwagon competition, was euthanized after it was injured.
