I maintain when you see livestock that appear to be peacefully chewing their cud with a peaceful appearance, they are plotting ways to hurt themselves.

I have pulled sheep's heads out between trees and their stakes, in between concrete feeders and stuck between boards. The all time winner went to a 500-600 lb steer that somehow got upside down on its back inside of the concrete feeder. I had to put forks on the tractor and flip the feeder on its side...I managed not to kill it, despite its best efforts.

This is why I don't us the 4x4 inch fencing. Horses will get their feet stuck in it, sheep and goats will hang themselves, deer and elk get hung up break their legs, then starve to death.

Yeah but with the price of fencing now, the narrow stuff is out of sight. I just put up a fence to protect my orchard...couldnt justify 400 for a roll of the other stuff.

I had a horned sheep get her horns stuck inside a cow's eye socket. Yes that happened. I saw the cow making strange faces, opening her mouth wide like yawning. I thought 'what the hell is wrong with that cow', then she turned around and i saw she had a sheep hanging out of her eye.

I ran up and pulled the sheeps horns about 5 inches out of the cows eye socket, convinced that the cow had lost an eye. Nope. The eye popped right back into place, and she was fine. [ I learned to separate cows and sheep after that ].
