Oh Brooke...don't feel too bad. Same thing happened to me with Pup. I was changing him and I turned around to pick a pair of shoes up off the floor. He was sitting and he leant over and fell off head first. I didn't see him actually fall, but I saw him bounce! OMG I freaked, and he cried for a bit. But he was ok. Resilient little creatures our bubs are. He didn't have a bump, bruise mark...nothing. Me, well I was a bl00dy wreck.
Rach, ANYTIME you want to visit, just give us a hoi. And that goes for any of you on here (Deb, I expect to see you when you are over here driving from Adelaide to Melb via G.O.R).
Actually, I am at the moment halter breaking 3 cows in order to show them at the local show in early November. One is already halter broken from a photo shoot done of her last year (amazing she still remembers the halter), but the other two are newbies at it. And boy, is one kicking up a stink! LOL. To give you an idea of how big they are, I am 5'2" and I can just see over their backs. And they weigh about 750 - 800kg. We have to tie them up and let them sook until they get use to the halter (for about 1 hour a day) and they have to get use to eating and drinking out of buckets. And then they have to be trained to be lead around by the halter with their ears forward and head up. And when they stand still their front and back legs must be in line. It really is a whole lot of bullsh*t, but TBH, I am rather looking forward to it. DH just rolls his eyes. And they have to be shampooed, hairdried (!), sprayed, clipped and groomed. Oh, it is a production!!! This is my first time ever doing it, and I have a guy from our semen company coming to help me...cause I have NFI. LOL.
