Dear RYAN and DANA,

You had 'luck' !!!...but I musn't tell YOU that !!!

Coïncidence perhaps but today 'our newspaper' brought forward a realy realy allmost 'drama' happening on a farm in our 'flemish' region...

When a mama brought visit to her parents living on a farm and this in company of her 2 young kids ...

When granddad walked togheter in one of the prairies where a couple of cows where grazing...and he wanted to show the 'baby calf' on th kids ...the cow went compeltly mad - for reasons to protect her young calf !.

They where all three taken on the horns of the wild cow !!! they kids 'flow' in the air like puppets...they where 'trapped' a couple of times...

Granddad did everything he could...to bring his two grandchildren in safety...they where BOTH very very seriously injured but will luckely survive !!!

I remember YOU stated once that after that accident I had with that bull when I went fishing to my beloved little river...and perhaps still another time I made over that YOU better take care each and every time...that YOU mentioned that simple COW's can as dangerous as BULL's...

HOPE YOU recover well my friend...greetings to DANA and the two YOUNG ones (but that last will be to much asked to have respond ! hahahaha)

psttttttttttt as a proof ...'our newspaper' of today friday the 22 of june 2012..............DANA can read the article/bad happening news !!!

I am aware that each year overhere there are 'farmers' who are killed by their proper (mostly bulls) who are going 'mad' for one reason or another (or or or agressif and not to trust)...and that there happens also accidents with 'vets' and people in the 'cattle seller markets/squares - transport - slaughterhouses

Holy cow Batman....I mean Ryan,
Well I am glad to here your ok, I guess that could have turned out really bad.

[Frank G. Swarner III]

Washeew....glad your "ok" and nothing any worse happened. Maybe it will be some inspiration for a freestyle tie called "Cow Tipping."

That's what you get for going cow tipping!

Heard from Peter about it. You weren't trying to extract some 'bullock's flank' for Fitzgibbon flies were you?

Ryan, I still remember being thrown across the barn by the calf i was supposed to "control" in vet school, and a nasty medial collateral knee sprain that still bugs me every once in a while. get well soon, that's one of the reasons i stick to smaller pets .
cheers
