newguy18 · 25th December 2007, 05:22 PM

Ekka · 25th December 2007, 05:39 PM

newguy18 · 25th December 2007, 07:33 PM

No I was working on my uncle's farm and dropped a pin for the tractor and I bent down to pick it up and a cow walked right on top my hand.

TrevMcRev · 25th December 2007, 08:45 PM

Mmm....
A farm, a cow, an accident, and an injured hand......
Sorry, but i can only visualise one scenario, and it aint the one you described

Joking Newguy!

newguy18 · 25th December 2007, 08:54 PM

No worries.Other then a little shaking I did pretty good making a cast.Okay I used duct tape.

quercus · 25th December 2007, 10:06 PM

It's a shame to always have to look at trees like that that when you drive by... Here we have the same problem, only a lot worse... I'll get some pictures in the next few days...

TreeDimensional · 26th December 2007, 09:10 AM

LMAO, newguy18. As a farmer myself the image is of you bending over to pick up the pin nd having your hand stepped on is burned into my mind. You didn't happen to have been raised in the city??? You know, as a rule cows aren't that bright, and are not USUALLY in much of a hurry.

All these folks that frequent the tree sites thought tree work was dangerous, HUH, try working in the rural areas. RIGHT?

bigshea13 · 26th December 2007, 11:50 AM

we use to ride them as kids. we d get on em in the stantions and ride em out the barn door. in general they almost always ran for the brush. it was hard to stay on with just bailing twine. now that im all growed up it seems to be more fun to grease up the pigletts and watch the women try catching them.

newguy18 · 26th December 2007, 05:02 PM

I got bored today and decided to have my brother take these pics of me this afternoon.The 2 trees I'm tied into are chokecherry trees.
