Well-known Mundubbera bull contractor Brian King, 58, has been killed in a freak accident at the Woodford Show.
Mr King, from BK Bucking Bulls, was reversing his truck and cattle trailer at the showgrounds about 9:20pm on Saturday when he either slipped or stepped from the cabin of his vehicle.
He then apparently stumbled and was struck by the vehicle.
Mr King was a contractor to the National Rodeo Association and supplied bulls to many local events, including the recent Burnett Buckle series and the Cooyar Hotel rodeo.
The NRA offered its condolences on a Facebook post (see below).
Police are preparing a report to the Coroner, and Workplace, Health and Safety inspectors are investigating.
