[QUOTE="mixed farm, post: 6590348, member: 70062"] If it can happen, it has happened here! I have a trough/bunker for silage in front of the cows and a few times every year a grab falls out in a block, traps a cow, and there's the panic as I jump out of the digger, jump into the trough and start pulling silage off her head before she suffocates. I've had a cow go down but luckily just managed to save her. Had a weanling who got his head stuck in one of those rectangular drinking bowls with the nose flap, saved him but just luck. Lost a Bullock who put his head into a circular feeder and then somehow turned his nose out through the next space. Another weanling who ended up inside in a concrete water trough, upside down. He also went to the other side. [/QUOTE]
