I reckon farming has gotta be up there as one of the most hard jobs, I reckon it's up there with being a fisherman in the North sea or working on a oil field.
yeah, it has its good side like you mentioned. But theres lots of downsides too. I wont list them, its too depressing.
When i was 16 i went exploring the local forestry tracks on my 50cc motorbike. On my return journey there was a little 20 metre gated section of track, but a bull was standing right in the middle of it. I eventually plucked up the courage to go through, keeping the bike between me and the bull, when he started kicking his heels, that means hes ready to charge at you (for anyone who didnt know) i had to take any emergency exit off the track down a very steep and boggy bit of land. My bike got stuck in about 3 foot of mud, so i abandonded it and got to the other side of the fence through the bog. By the time Id done that the bastard bull had disappeared.
also cows kicking, my uncle got kicked by a cow and smashed his ribs
But its very common for farmer + angry bull = dead farmer.
Nonsense. I had quite a few friends at school who grew up on farms. Still know some of them. I have never once heard of anyone being killed by a bull. The only bull/cow related injuries I've ever seen have been burst knuckles from punching the thing in the face. I can safely say that none of the farmers I know are very wary of bulls. I'm not saying it never happens but to say it's "very common" is not true.
Daily Torygraph said:The figures are not clear, but maybe one person a year on average is killed by cattle in Britain, and a lot more are hurt by them.
