[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1704291, member: 33533"] It was on dark one day and as i drove out did a head count, cow 8 months bred was missing. Hmmm, do i search or she just in the trees. Decided to look, found her at the bottom of a dry dam stuck in the mud. She really made an effort to get there and fall in! Been there a few hours and was really tired from panicking and struggling. This dam is 20ft deep and has steep sides so couldn't drag her out. I came up with a plan, i have an irrigation outlet from a full dam which is 400 meters away and has a good 10kw pump on it. Only there is a valve 'somewhere' inbetween. Some frantic digging found the 3" valve. Went to turn it on and handle snapped off flush! So after some cursing, got out the hacksaw, bits of pipe and an hour later had a make shift connection. Got pump running and a few hours later we finally floated her out. She was a tired girl but a couple of days later was back to herself. A month later calved with no problems. [/QUOTE]
