## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

DURING THE LANDING ROLL OUT ON HIS PRIVATE STRIP, A COW UNEXPECTEDLY RAN IN FRONT OF AIRCRAFT.  PILOT APPLIED THE BRAKES HEAVILY TO AVOID HITTING THE COW.  BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY BRAKING, THE AIRCRAFT'S TAIL ROSE AND AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP UPSIDE DOWN.  THE PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE NOT HURT, THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED.
