My Seventh of January

TN_Bassin · 01-07-10, 01:25 PM

Well I thought I would share a bit of what I had to wake up to this morning. What does Darwin say about this one?

The calf would have been fine if not for it's excessive kicking, he fractured the ice and went through. After the calf decided to go through the ice I had about 20 seconds to decide that it was inevitable, I had to go in after it. The water at that part of the pond was a frigid 4 foot. About 2 feet further out there is a 3 foot drop which would have probably killed the calf (because I was not going over my head). Currently the little guy is dry and sucking teet. Also I am still trying to regain feeling from my chest down.

Brrrr! Rough way to start the day

bassinbob · 01-07-10, 03:08 PM

Hope the calf learned a lesson. Hate going through the ice.

bamabassman · 01-07-10, 03:41 PM

Sounds like he is gonna be the first to go on the spit. hahahaha. been there, done that.

I can relate. You ever see a 2200 pound pissed off Holstien Bull in a Manure lagoon? I did once it is a real trying of patients.

TN_Bassin · 01-08-10, 05:12 PM

Not a Holstien, but our 2000 pound Angus Bull get ornary sometimes.

1/4 stick · 01-08-10, 05:21 PM

Veal? You'd still have to go in to get it.

WTG TN Bassin! Our hero of the day!

Well I dunno about hero. That thing is going to be worth around 4 to 5 hundred when we take it to the market in the spring.

And as far as having to go in to get it if it had died, out would have came the old Marlin rod and a snaggin hook.

MallenManson · 01-08-10, 06:41 PM

So TN, why is it that Angus beef is so much better?

Agreed. I bet the calf won't do that again. Worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I was in over my head searching for a way out. Worse than a broken leg, and much more scary.

Really? Shouldn't you let the little guy's momma do that?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Well I don't know the particulars but I do know that a purebred angus will sell for more at the market.

Well you know it was a life or death situation and desperate times call for desperate measures.

<---- my face when the little guy latched on...
