[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1666698, member: 38038"] it was several years ago on new years day when I went down to do the evening chores. looked toward my pond and had 4 bred heifer swimming in a circle in the middle of the pond where they broke through the ice. I called the local volunteer fire dept. to see if they could somehow help get them out. I felt completely helpless as I watched them one by one slowly roll on their side. Not sure if they died of hypothermia or fatigue. By the time help got there, it was too late to do anything. It is always hard to lose livestock but sometimes sh*t happens. Feel sorry for the poor farmer that lost his life trying to save a calf but I know how helpless he must have felt if he did nothing. good time to ask everyone to please be careful out there. [/QUOTE]
