Anyone else love the movie "Three Kings?"
Troy: "He'es from a group home in Jackson"
VIG : "Don't tell people that.
CHIEF: "I don't give a shit if he's from Johannesburg. I don't want to hear dune koon or sand ni66er from him or anybody."
VIG: "Okay, how about camel jockey and towel head, hoo-wa?"
CHIEF: "No."
TROY: "No."
VIG: "I apologize but it's a littleconfusing with all that anti Iraqi, pro-Saudi, and all that language"
How about when having to pull a calf or foal because there are issues? Whether cow/mare is up or down , having to pull can get interesting in many ways which can get you hurt. Betting most of you who've been around these animals have your stories about it.
It’s a constant joke around here - the “birthing bucket”. Betadine, chains and a five gallon bucket. Last time I had a cow that had hooves sticking out for too long. Got her into the chute and pulled it while she was standing. Both were fine after she got the temporary paralysis over with from that monster calf.
Now when someone takes too long taking a solid shit there are questions about whether or not we need to get the birthing bucket so we can all get back to work.
Lol.....definitely doesn't appear to be "Amish" country.

Been there but all has always gone well. Never pulled a foal but each calf pulled survived, cow survived and calf “pullers” survived with no injuries. I did get kicked in the head by a horse while trying to teach a somewhat psychotic mare to let her foal nurse. She came by her nickname “looney” honestly.
(Of course, getting kicked in the head might, just might be some of my somewhat less than standard behavior at times
).That mare had great bloodlines, and was a half sister to two of the best horses we ever trained. She was purchased to be a broodmare. We knew she was somewhat less than safe to be around, but we knew how to handle her. I was a bit cautious as to who I would let be around her. Funny thing about that mare, she really liked to be around people, she really wanted to be petted, but ONLY ON A CERTAIN SECTION OF HER NECK! Pet her elsewhere and she would go for the kill. Had a lot of Merry Boy and Merry Go Boy in her Dam’s bloodline. Merry Boy was anything but Merry, but his son, Merry Go Boy was the only horse to ever defeat Midnight Sun, perhaps the best walking horse that ever lived.
This rather poor picture is the foal, Sneaky Pete’s Rose, turned out to be a pretty nice flat shod racking horse. But not under our training. We had long since sold the farm, quit training horses, messing around with cows and started to enjoy having some income for a change.
