Wow. A 100' fall ain't no joke. I'm praying hard for that man.

when we built new power plant a iron worker slipped on frost on a tractor trailer bed fell off trailer and his head hit a rock and he died it doesnt take a big fall at all to be dangerous

Not the praying type, but sending good vibes down that way all the same. Its easy to take for granted your health and safety, until you get a reminder.

Sorry Randy to hear about your friend Tracy. He sounds like one tough hombre. Prayers and best wishes for him and his family. His spirits sound real good, a lot of times that indicative of a fighter.

Sorry about your friend Randy. Terrible to hear about these things happen to good people. Prayers for a smooth recovery.

Prayers, positive vibes, and thoughts for Tracy. Hope he feels better soon!!!

Dangerous world out there, never know when bad luck will strike.

Exactly. How are you doing Pete? I think about you a lot since I started messing with cattle. That can be a dangerous job you have as well my friend.

I am doing very well, I do not do many cattle anymore, just the occasional stuck calf. My partner does a ton more!!!

I do mainly dogs and cats, few horses and other small livestock.

As I get older, I realize I don't heal as fast as I used to. Have had many exciting times on the farms, but now I like to take it easy in the office doing small companion animals.

I really hope your friend heals quickly!!!


Life is fragile, be careful!!!

Had a great time fishing down in Cumberland, I should have made time to get to your place, but the 4 kids would not want to talk saws and cows

I understand........and there's not much to see here. I do enjoy a visitor from time to time though.....you are always welcome.

Just like tree work and anything else, equipment is key, people you can really trust to pack your parachute, and a well thought out plan. I've seen a 800 pound cow jump a 6 foot wall, that is usually not in the game plan. The elk farms we used to have were crazy, they had us doing the herd health checks in October when they were in rut, wouldn't change it either, so we quit. 1-2 elk would die from the stress or trauma out of 80-100 animals.

Attention to detail and maintaining your equipment is so important, can't stress that enough!!!!

Can't even get young vets to take on large animal work. Some of the vet schools are lightening up on the academic prerequisites to attract big Male *s-wordkickers to enter Vet school and concentrate on large animals. My best friend and I were pretty handy with cows so on the rare occasions we needed a Vet they always sent a female and more often than not pregnant.

Nope. With notable exceptions those girl pre vet types were uppity *b-wordes. They didn't much like my *s-wordkicker attitude. Until it came time to capture one. Then they'd go all girl on you. Scrap that noise. There's a rich girl over yonder thinks I hung the moon. And her Daddy likes me too.

I just got off the phone with Tracy. He's going back in the woods today. I'm gonna go get a few chunks of wood and see how he's doing. He said the doctor wanted him to take more time off, but he's going stir crazy.....
