[QUOTE="cowmilker, post: 920630, member: 17270"] Been there, done that. About a year and a half ago I finished milking the girls and put all but one very pregnant heifer out to pasture. This heifer's name was Rosie, I think, but I always called her Squirrely because she was one of those flighty holstein heifers that didn't want you near her. I walked into her box stall to get a good look at her back door and she decides to jump the gate ending up just like the cow above. Unable to open the gate because her weight had bent the latch bar, I got a wooden box we use for hoof trimming thinking that she could push herself back with her front foot on something. Not so- all she could do was push the box into my shins. Now there is NOBODY around but me this particular evening and the aisle outside the box stall is too narrow for the skid steer. I'm 6'2" 210 lbs. but a lot of what used to be muscle is no longer, but not seeing any alternative and becoming increasingly concerned about what her predicament is doing to her calf, I grabbed her behind each knee, put my left shoulder into her brisket, and hefted her front end back over the gate. Adrenaline- it's amazing stuff. The next day every muscle in my body hurt. Craig [/QUOTE]
