When In doubt, Google is your friend:

"This Vancouver City Archives photo of just-trimmed skids for a donkey engine is one of the best I’ve seen for sharpness of detail.

"Taken in the 1920s, it’s quality should come as no surprise because it’s a Leonard J. Frank (1870-1944) shot. He’s without doubt one of British Columbia’s finest industrial photographers whose work is in many museum and archives.

"The logs were felled on the British Properties, by the way. You can judge their original diameter by the man posing with the broad axe."\

Here is a much smaller one, but you can see the design.

I don’t think people realize the raw power these animals have unless they have dealt with them. Even yearlings will seriously fuck you up if you are not careful. Saw a month old calf once nearly crush a kneecap with a kick and an old man who laid in a lot for a full day until he was found paralyzed from a bull. I have broken bones, separated cartilage from floating ribs etc from being caught by bulls myself. There’s a reason most old ranchers look like hell. Everyone of us who have cattle have train wreck stories and scars but these animals are on a different level.
Even a newborn can fuck you up. My father nearly got his teeth kicked in when bandung tge last one he ever banded.

Nah.....you probably live near a large Amish population....they celebrate their religious holidays with gunfire in the air.

^^^ This. Not just the Amish. The 'peaceful ones' who want to nuke Israel are definitely 'fire in the air iif you like goats' crowd!

Anyone else love the movie "Three Kings?"

Troy: "He'es from a group home in Jackson"

VIG : "Don't tell people that.

CHIEF: "I don't give a shit if he's from Johannesburg. I don't want to hear dune koon or sand ni66er from him or anybody."

VIG: "Okay, how about camel jockey and towel head, hoo-wa?"

CHIEF: "No."

TROY: "No."

VIG: "I apologize but it's a littleconfusing with all that anti Iraqi, pro-Saudi, and all that language"
 
Having spent just at least half my life working with big animals, what you say is very true. (Sold farm in 1992 and built a lake house) Cows, horses, and hogs can very easily cause death or very serious injury to a fairly frail group such as human beings. You may think you are one tough hombre, but a thousand pound horse can pick you up and throw you around like a rag doll. Each hind quarter has more muscle than a 250 pound well built man has in his entire body.

Cow. Had a nice heifer.. trying to coral her, she went though a brand new 5 wire barbed fence like it was wet spaghettini. Had a really nasty brahma feeder calf. A crazier and meaner animal has never lived (except maybe hillary clinton) Finally trapped him in my corral. Had to put a full sized pick up truck agains each gate to keep him from destroy the gate and escaping. He was butting the gate so hard, it actually moved the pickup back a bit.

My father-in-law was nearly killed by a sow. All’s he was doing was feeding her. She went crazy.

Big animals are just that big. Humans don’t qualify. (As big, even those 1000 pounders that keep getting featured in other parts of Snipershide.)
How about when having to pull a calf or foal because there are issues? Whether cow/mare is up or down , having to pull can get interesting in many ways which can get you hurt. Betting most of you who've been around these animals have your stories about it.

It’s a constant joke around here - the “birthing bucket”. Betadine, chains and a five gallon bucket. Last time I had a cow that had hooves sticking out for too long. Got her into the chute and pulled it while she was standing. Both were fine after she got the temporary paralysis over with from that monster calf.

Now when someone takes too long taking a solid shit there are questions about whether or not we need to get the birthing bucket so we can all get back to work.
