[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 510736, member: 2308"] Yes, they can be dangerous things. We have had calves/yearlings hung up in them at the hips. They go in one spot, and when they come out they don't always use the same spot. A hacksaw works, and we have never lost one to it. But, we are out in all the pens every day. The worst we ever had was a big old Horned Hereford bull. The bull feeder has a couple big holes so the Horned Hereford's we use can get in and eat. Somehow he stuck his head through one of the small holes. Which was quite an accomplishment, considering how big his horns were. It was empty, and he dragged it around with him for a bit, and then must have gone on the fight. When we found him he was upside down with the feeder still hung up on him. Got very lucky with him, another hour and he would have likely been dead. Took the hacksaw to get him out, but when we got it off his head, he got up and stumbled away. He co-operated while we cut the bar out. We still use feeders, can't afford to roll bales out for less than 15-20 head. [/QUOTE]
