[QUOTE="ChrisRet, post: 339574, member: 5826"] Last fall I helped a neighbour who was applying CCIA tags & vaccines to his calves in the field. I was one of about 8 riders holding the mixed herd of about 80 cows & their calves, while a few ropers were catching the calves & dragging them out. His boy (under 8 yrs old) was standing some distance away near his truck & some other spectators, watching the rope work. Everthing was going OK. Suddenly a cow broke the herd and charged the boy, from about 50 yards away. He screamed and fell down and kept screaming; old bossie got about 20 feet away and thankfully turned aside. It all happened so fast that the riders couldn't do anything. By the grace of God nothing bad happened. But it sure put a scare into us. The ground workers (with the vaccines and clipboards) stayed pretty darn close to us riders after that. [/QUOTE]
