Final narrative
An employee was in the basement when he observed animal blood dripping from a small hole in the auger trough. The employee went to plug the hole with a small piece of fat. As the employee pushed the fat into the hole, the auger flight caught his fingertip, resulting in amputation between the nailbed and first knuckle.
