[QUOTE="Foot Doc, post: 36019, member: 1817"] Yup, if the general public saw the "normal" ways we have of restraining cattle I think they would be a lot more appalled than by using the Pacifier. We have had trade stands at some agri shows lately and I have been surprised by the [I]number[/I] of farmers who have told us about some really bad injuries they have sustained while carrying out everyday tasks. I suppose we all put ourselves at risks everyday and don't really think anything bad will happen to us. I think I have been relatively lucky in that apart from daily knocks and bruises, I have only had cracked ribs twice, one fractured wrist and about 20 odd stiches. Not bad for a old bugger of a hoof trimmer over nearly 30 years!! One hoof trimmer I trained about 10 years ago got his leg badly broken by a flighty cow in his first week of business. He gave up on the idea of being a trimmer after this. [/QUOTE]
