I don't know if I should really be posting this or not. I'm quite ticked off at the whole situation.
Idiot neighbour decides to break the ice on the pond for his cows with his skidder.
What do you think would happen? :roll: :roll: :roll:
All he said was " I turned around and seen water in my tracks, I don't know what I was thinking, but I just kept going." :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
This had taken place on Tuesday. Hubby and one of our friends went there to try to get it out, but after breaking the winch cable on the cat about 3 times they gave up. Ordered in a new winch cable and got it today.
Here are the pics from today.
Now, the neighbour that did this is not seen in any of the pictures because he was in town all day and not helping out on his own farm.
Hubby and our friend was there to do it all.
Getting the cat (International) warmed up
Skidder
Getting hooked up and cutting the ice
Ended up having to pull from the back.
This was as long as I could stay... had to go to work :x
Amazingly they did eventually get it out. Its ruined now, water all through it.
What disturbed me the most is we all told him to get the frickin' cows out of that pasture and away from the pond. He didn't do it .... and yes, you guessed it.... drowned calf when we got there this morning.
No excuse for stupidity!!
