    Handy heifer calf. Springer is 25mo by OMA with a maternal rating of 134.

    Just checked on them and I'm glad to report the cow's head has reappeared :D

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    leave her for a while and see if the figures it out, otherwise angle grinder, can she go backwards at all

    Lost a heifer in a similar situation a few years back. Left her for a while to see if she'd get out herself and she started to swell. By the time I had her cut out with the grinder, she was severely swelled and she died about 2 days later.

    I've been meaning to do this ever since they went in. Bad design to begin with :rolleyes:

    She went back the way she came through. Once the racket was tight I used a long crowbar to pop her ribs back in, racket again, and then she got the idea and reversed out - a bit sore and sorry for herself.

    I wouldn't mind but she is a quiet one and I thought she'd be alright by herself in the pen for the ten minutes she was left there.

    Fair Play JDI,
    I was going to suggest a Rope halter on her head while you were using the grinder. She looks like a quiet one anyway.

    I zoomed in there and see what you're talking about alright . I cut it myself and I'm not used to using the mower because the father usually cuts everthing . I'd say I had it cocked a bit off level with the ground and thats what you're seeing

    ah yeah cos when we cut silage in the hay fields and when the mower went through it i notices all the little bits of hay at the base of the grass. was surprised that it was still there

    even if you drilled 2 holes and ran strong threaded bar thru it would prob solve your problem
