Some people just don't realise how dangerous the farming industry can be. I was born and bred into farming. So when people complain about the cost of milk, vegetables, meat etc. they don't really see the price that some have paid, trying to earn a living.

Bless you, I’m so happy you are recovering. Cows are so temperamental even before they have their calves, I hope your farm is still going well, take care always . 🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂

I’m a 16 year old girl and I rarely do any work on my dads farm but in may I was on my aunties farm and I got attacked by a cow and if my aunt and uncle weren’t there to save me I probably would have died because I genuinely don’t know how I Willis have gotten out on my own. The cow broke my aunties wrist when she was trying to save me. It was the worst day of my life and people need to realise how careful you have to be on farms. Farmers just aren’t paid enough considering the risk they take.

I am a survivor of an attack on a feedlot. I didn't even see it coming the bull was just there...ramming me into corral and pinning me against the fence... Crushing me.. It rammed me 2 more times. On the last one it threw me so I was able to get out. 1500 pound bull and not one broken bone. Although a lot of nerve damage

[@noelhenderson8095]

[@buzzmct6242]

@@noelhenderson8095 yes that is very true your making the right decision

[@mehitabel1290]

Thankyou for this. I'm not a farmer - but nor am I an ignorant townie - but I have twice been in fear of my life from cattle, both times as a walker in southern England. In neither case did I have a dog, nor did I act in an agitated manner. One attack was from cows - not with calves - and the other from bullocks. About 20 large animals, in both cases. Every other video I've found around the topic has made a huge joke of it... HAhahahaha! COWS, dangerous??!! HAhahaha! Actually, yes. They can be. Thankyou for giving us this sad endorsement of that fact. But glad you came out of the experience well.
