[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 152424, member: 1346"] Glad to know I'm not the only "nut" out there that can point and tell the girls to go there. My mentor just looks at me and shakes his head. But then I spend time with my cows every day and I enjoy them. If I knew more farmers around here I'd love helping them work cattle when it was time to get them up and in the chute. Someone else mentioned always have a plan prior to .... and that is true... always have an "escape" plan in mind. I got run over this past June because I didn't get out of the cows way in time.... I've learned that my 5 foot 130 lb frame [b]cannot[/b] turn a 1250 lb cow. I had multiple facial fractures and my entire face was blue/bruised for a couple of weeks. Although one can get hurt on horses too, as last month I was riding and the horse got spooked and of course being in an english saddle I couldn't keep my balance when he did the 180 and I tried to hang onto the reins to get him to stop and got run over again... more facial fractures (black eyes/blue face again), he broke my upper dentures and knocked out my lower teeth so I really am singing, "all I want for xmas is my 2 front teeth" and I am sick of soup, and soft foods. Still have to wait 3 more weeks before I can go see about dentures though. Good luck to you (I think when a person sets their mind to accomplish it, whether male or female, they can do it) and this board has a lot of fine people on it. One of the reasons I used to love trail riding was to sit around the campfire at night and listen to the oldtimers tell all their tales and this board is like that. You can just glean all kinds of info and knowledge. [/QUOTE]
