[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1227512, member: 18945"] About the only thing I've seen in memory are a few animals that got caught in the exit door of the ring--the guy let it swing close before the cow got all the way thru it and cow's inertia trying to get on thru just squeezed it tighter and tighter on his ribcage. Twice, I've seen that door torn off over at Livingston from the same thing happening. I don't know how they got thru it without some broken ribs or cracked hip. Never saw any of the help get hurt, but there used to be one at one of the barns that everyone hoped would be--he was pretty rough on everything that came thru the ring especially goats. If they didn't do right, he'd pick up and sling 'em over against the exit door, and he used a hot shot out of pure pleasure it seemed on every cow and calf that came thru. He disappeared tho, right after some lady climbed up on the ring wall and cussed him a good loud blue streak over how he was handling the goats she was bidding on. She got a round of applause when she stepped down off the pipe. [/QUOTE]
