#5: a) The guy is an idiot for endangering the calf by using it as a shield, not to mention provoking the cow. b) He got off lucky. The closest I ever came to being killed by livestock (maybe by anything) was inadvertently getting between a cow and her unseen calf.
We used to do several times a day for part of the year. On dairy farms, the calves are removed from the mother after a day or two and bottle feed and the mother goes into the milk herd. Some cows don't care and some do.
Here at the boat yard we have a paint can shaker to mix the bottom paint up, if you don't clamp it down properly it will explode. We don't park boats near it, it's not fun cleaning teak decks covered with bottom paint. Ask me how I know.
#5 That happened to my older brother in the fifties. A gentle Holstein, he went to get the calf and she gored him three times in the stomach and threw him over a four strand barbed wire fence. His guts weren't hanging out but she jabbed him pretty good. Both parents hated doctors. She cleaned him up and used hot Epsom salt packs. How he survived I'll never know. They damn near killed my kid sister. Just a bad stomach ache. Somebody came by and said get her to the hospital now or they were taking her. The appendix bust shortly after arriving at the hospital. She was one sick girl for a while. Weird people.
#9 That's an expensive fail.
ReplyDeleteThey don't make tractors like they used to.

#9 And with parts availability being what it is, it just might be awhile before it's back to working order.

ReplyDelete5- the person filming must have known what the cow would do when he captured her calf. otherwise why film a routine event?
ReplyDeleteAs in: Yeah, you can pick up the calf. The cow won't mind. We've done it before. Got it on video.
Delete#5 The person sent to pick up the calf was set up. The cow was known to be spicy. At my old farm, we would have wet our britches laughing
Delete#9- Belarus are fairly rugged, low tech tractors, but stupid can destroy anything
ReplyDelete#10 Aren't you supposed to yell "fore"?

ReplyDeleteWe would pick the calf up and the cow would just follow us to the barn.
