[QUOTE="NC Liz 2, post: 1093619, member: 21522"] A Cowboy’s Faith: Frozen Ponds Are Dangerous [url=http://www.osagecountyonline.com/archives/7173]http://www.osagecountyonline.com/archives/7173[/url] When I read this story it reminded me of when I had a cow go through the ice about 150 ft from shore some years ago. In a panic I didn't know what to do, so I call my neighbor who said calm down, how deep is the pond? I told him about 5 feet in the middle. He said OK get your tractor and all the log chain you got and I will be right there. He brought his tractor and some log chain. We chained the two tractors together back to back and he proceeded to use his tractor's bucket as an ice breaker to reach the cow. When he reached the cow he put his bucket straight up and down in the water and said pull me out as fast as you can. When I pulled him out he created a wake that pushed almost all the ice he had broken up going in, either under or over the ice on both sides of him clearing a path for the cow to walk out. Which she did. Some times it just takes someone with more experience then you have to solve a problem. Liz [/QUOTE]
