[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1637564, member: 21289"] We had the vet out yesterday doing preg checks. I was telling my grandsons about keeping away from a cow's head when she's in the head catch and how badly they can hurt you. I always try to stand with my upper body tilted back when tagging or when putting a halter on to pull their head up. We had one older cow that didn't calve and was only 2-3 months bred.I wanted to check her teeth and,as I was putting the halter rope on her head, a moment's lapse in judgement got me a face full of cow.Only hit on the upper front below the nose but caused me to spit a little blood a couple of times.About what a weak fist to the mouth might feel like.No broken teeth or nose but a good reminder and a first hand lesson for the boys.
