unlucky or lucky.............
meet Sonny........Sonny is lucky I had been out working at the other property 3 days in a row after work and saw he was not so good the 2nd day and I convinced Mr Chooky to help me catch him to bring home the 3rd day.........
easiest calf I have ever got onto a bottle..........clearly starving.......
a better picture of Sonny........
He's a buddy for Rover..........
then next morning we went out feeding at home.........
the troughs look so empty with all the cows that we are selling in another mob.............
they love the cottonseed..............
heading back from that I spotted this little bubba in the grasses........after I convinced Mr Chooky the crows would get it before we came back to check again he turned around and we picked the little lamb up........No mother in sight......another case of neglectful mother.........she had not even cleaned the lamb up...........mostly dry but still damp so born a few hours earlier..........
We had to head off to the other farm to work so it went road tripping with me............took some mixed up milk with me...........
ALL was fine with that plan until an hour or so later...........
9 cattle panels fell over on me and I went backwards over the side of the trailer..........hung up on the side by my legs the first thought was 2 broken legs............Mr Chooky was very close by and saw it as it was happening............thank goodness he was able to lift the panels up just..........but I had to get myself out.............upside is I can do an incline sit up - who knew it was possible (must have been the adrenaline).......but trust me my gut muscles know about that today.......
So while I was extremely unlucky to have the accident I am soooooo lucky I didn't break two legs.....no time for that.......no one to care for me if that happened...........yes I went home via hospital and xrays.........no broken bones - My fat calves (on my legs) probably help there..........I'm sort of hobbling to the bathroom and back on crutches............some rippa bruises coming........so it's time on the lounge resting......a few other aches from being thrown backwards too..........can't see myself at town work tomorrow but i'll take it day by day...........
Poor Mr Chooky is now cursing me as he has the job of the new poddies........woops............but so far he has not refused getting things for me...........hes gone off now to finish the jobs we didn't get done yesterday.............
So i'm on forced rest...........
guess I got spat out the side of the roller coaster...............

The circuit breaker in action?? Do hope you are up and about soon, but meanwhile rest.
Oh Chooky !!You were very lucky not too have broken your legs but I'm sure you will have many colourful bruises. Rest and hopefully you'll feel better soon.
Sunny and Lambie are also lucky you came along when you did.
Oh Chooky. You are on the rollercoaster aren't you? Hope you are up and about soon (but not too soon.) Rest and recover.
Oh dear Chooky. You were so lucky you didn't break your legs. The calf & lamb are so cute. Take care of yourself. Hugs, xx
That sounds quite scary. So pleased you are alright though feel for you with those bruises coming out. Hope you have something for the pain. Rest up.
Wow... the highs and lows of farming. So pleased to hear you are ok and just need a few days of rest. Thanks again for keeping things real for the rest off us.
Glad to hear no broken bones but I know the bruising can take a while to heal (cattle panels can do some real damage). The jobs just keep mounting up Hoping you get some real substantial rain soon.
There’s never a dull moment at your place. The lengths you go to to get out of work. Seriously, th tat was the last thing you needed. I hope you are up and about before long. Take care.

Thank you for all you do as farmers, it’s a tough gig. Thank all the gods you were not more seriously injured! What practical help can the rest of Australia do to assist you guys.
Hi Chooky ,oh dear accidents happen so quickly,lucky your man was there to help you. I am sorry this happened to you but i am pleased that you didnt get seriously injured.Lots of work for you all on the farm,sending you a big hug my friend xx
Oh goodness! I think this is a case of "if it wasn't for bad luck you would have no luck at all"! Thankfully it wasn't worse than it was--hope you are up and around soon and hubby takes good care of you! Take care!
Oh Chooky! What a terrible fright for you.

Bl....y H..l!!! Sorry for my French, but seriously! You were very lucky indeed. I know it's easier said than done but take it slowly for a few days. Big hug. xx
Oh no, very nasty, I hope you get comfortable soon, all that bruising will be very painful. Good news on the little lamb and calf, thank goodness you were there to sort them out :)
OH dear how awful for you but I guess it could have been a lot worse. You're last post was truly heartbreaking - we have no real idea of the effects of the drought on farmers until we hear a personal story like yours. Take care of yourself!
Hope you feel better soon. xx
Oh no! So glad you have no major injuries and that you were not out there on your own. Take care xx
Oh my gosh! What a day. I wish I could send you some of our rain. I'm glad you were able to rescue the babies, and I hope you're up and able to tend to them soon.

I have been very poor at looking at blogs and even worse with commenting. My eye sight and computers don’t always cooperate. So today, I’ll stop by and say hello and copy this note into the comments. Some of you are on Facebook or Instagram, but many aren’t. As I’ve said all along, I’ve met wonderful people blogging.
And now I’m reading your blog backwards...trying to catch up a bit. What an awful experience...thankful nothing was broken! Yikes!
