[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 1003289, member: 839"] Awww what the he[[. Everyone else has jumped in on this, I may as well throw in my :2cents: . I must be a lousy manager as well; my nurse cow died one night while I was sleeping. She got herself cast in the upper field. The fool laid down with her legs uphill and her back downhill. That was the second....and last time she ever did that. The 1st time she did it right close to the house and we got to her before we got to our morning coffee (that time she had done it in an area that 'dipped'). We got to her just in time on that one. 2 years later she did it again and died. I hated that I lost her, and I hated that she died the way she did, but I cannot be with my animals 24 hours a day, I need to sleep at some point. And as others have said, I'm glad hook posted this, I'm sure someone out there has learned something. As for the comments about ratshot....I'd be surprised if ratshot could penetrate all the way through the tough hide of a cow. Buckshot maybe, but I doubt ratshot, but I could be wrong. Hook, I'm glad you fenced off the bog, you have now succeeded in preventing anymore from getting stuck. Sorry to hear you lost the one that you did lose. Katherine [/QUOTE]
