well, last night, I had a couple cows looking close, so this morning I head out to see what the score is. one had calved, the other was still milling around. I wanted to run her up to the catch pen to keep an eye on her. the Mrs says "let nature take it's course"
at noon I decide that she needs look at, so the kids and I run her up, while the Mrs goes to town after groceries....still betting on nature.
the cow is all worked up, so I decide to go off to the other place thinking she may settle down, look in on her around 5 or so......
at 4 the radio in the shop is blasting, so I shut off the welder to listen, and they are looking for me, ....the Mrs got thrown off the horse!!!
away to the hospital we go....3 hours later we head home with 1 broken rib and 3 cracked ones...and a BUNCH of pain killers! get her all settled in, and I head out to get after the cow that nature forgot.....
backwards calf. dead. so the $500 ER visit, the $400 dead calf, and the $300 xray bill really made my day!!!
but on the bright side, the wife could have been alot worse (thank God she is fine) and by bringing her home, I saved myself the $1000 over night in the hospital!!! can you believe they get $1000 a night ???
anyone looking to buy a good horse? :wink:
