SABERS, Justice
(dissenting).
Defendants are not entitled to summary judgment unless they can show that there are no genuine issues of material facts. State, Dept. of Revenue v. Thiewes, 448 N.W.2d 1, 2 (S.D.1989). Taking the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, Satterlee, there are genuine issues of material fact as to failure to warn, sufficiency of warning, failure to permit Satterlee to completely remove himself from the interior of the corral before release of the calf and failure to use available safety equipment. “Summary judgment is an extreme remedy not appropriate for disposing of factual issues or as a substitute for trial.” Reeves v. Reiman, 523 N.W.2d 78, 86 (S.D.1994) (Sabers, J., concurring in result in part and dissenting in part) (citation omitted). Therefore, defendants are not entitled to summary judgment. Thiewes, 448 N.W.2d at 2.
