Pivot pin on the sheargrab snaps and a lovely recently dried off second calver does the splits in the feed passage and has either broke or ripped something.

Never mind the grab pin, will the cow make it?

Bugger.

I remember it was always a feeling of dread when a cow went down.

You get a positive pcr test on Christmas Eve, but feed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day anyway as the guys have got the days off!

At least you have guys! I only have the wife and the silly mare broke her leg last week!

You have 3 cows bulling and your BB bull does his leg in (probably terminal for him).so now needing a new bull.

The hydraulic attachment ram comes adrift on the manitou and takes out the hydraulic pipes.
Luckily a mate has a spare manitou not in use over Christmas

Not really in the same league but I've managed to get my log splitting wedge jammed in a lump of wood again. I'll go out and sort it when the vibration in my arms has subsided.

I do hope that @redsloe does not ask you for advice on dealing with a broken leg.....

Bull gets stuck in the round feeder, drags it half way across the field, then destroys it to release himself

Wrong time of year innit.....
