[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 758192, member: 968"] I know exactly what you mean. Sorry about the loss. We had our old disc sitting up in the hedgerow. Been kept in the same spot forever. Hubby said a few times, "you ought to put a fence around that". Well, last year a top 2-year old cow that was consigned to a sale, got her head stuck in it. Fortunately for us, we found her shortly after she did it. She was not a halter broke animal, but luckily she was really "calm". We put mineral oil on her head & neck - that didn't work. In the meantime, she was struggling & finally ended up with all four legs in & among all the parts of the disc. Hubby brought out his torches & cut up the disc & got her out. By the time he got it cut up, she was lying on her side with legs & head stuck. We just backed away & she slowly worked her way out of the mess. Amazingly, just had some "burn" spots from the cutting torch, slight cuts, & quite a lot of raw rubbed spots. She made it to the sale & was one of the top sellers. We sure counted our blessings. Quess what? The disc is ALWAYS fenced out of the cattle area - along with all the other equipment. So, your advice is very good. [/QUOTE]
