I got run over by a brand-new heifer — and it was 100% our fault. Here's what happened and what every cattle owner needs to learn from it.Within 20 minutes of unloading a yearling heifer, she buried her head in my stomach, picked me up off the ground, and ran me over in front of my 8-year-old son. My hip and thigh lost a solid patch of skin to a rubber mat. My boy was in tears — not because he was hurt, but because he thought I was.But here's the truth: we set up every single condition for that wreck to happen. And if you own, buy, or handle cattle — this video could save you, your kids, or your animals from a bad day.In this episode, we break down:Why new cattle will almost always be at their worst the moment you unload themThe exact mistakes we made that triggered a flight response in a otherwise calm heiferWhy small children working cattle creates a natural threat response in animalsWhat no sorting equipment, a roll-up door, rain, and a 2.5-hour solo trailer ride have in common (hint: it's a recipe for disaster)The #1 rule our operation runs by when it comes to cattle safety and employee safetyWhy you should never blame the animal — and what to do insteadThe biggest lesson: If you end the day and your animals are safe and your people are safe — you won.
