[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 644548, member: 968"] Our potential best pair (red 2-yr old c/c w/ heifer) going into the Gettysburg Stars & Stripes Sale in May, got her head stuck in our disc along with front two legs (yeah I know, should have had it fenced out!). Anyway, we oiled her up with mineral oil & couldn't get her out. Husband & I loaded up his cutting torches in truck & it took about an hour to get her out. (oil started burning a few times!) Thought for sure she was history - but she got out (all 4 legs were stuck in it also by the time all was said & done). She slowly got all her parts & pieces untangled & WALKED AWAY!! She was bleeding in many places, lots of scrapes, one dew claw sliced down the middle - but no major cuts, NO BROKEN BONES OR BROKEN NECK!!! She was major sore - put her on Bute for 2 days. Other than some bare spots scabbed over, she's fine. Amazing!! Wasn't going to post this, I hate to admit my stupidity having a disc in the field with them. Only been in with cattle for about 5 years. We sure were counting our blessings! - Oh, yes, disc is FENCED OUT - kinda like closing the barn door after the horses get out! [/QUOTE]
