He put his head under to get to the hay and pushed his way in. The bale feeder went up and over. They can do all kinds of stuff to feeders. Had one get his leg caught up in a feeder similar to that one. Ended up breaking his leg.

It wasn't as crowed when he was a calf.

I hope he's friendly- otherwise, extrication could be interesting.

When the feeder gets low our bulls think it?s a toy. We finally took all feeders away but their new game is trying to throw the bale around when it?s on the tractor. It is amazing how powerful they are.

I had a young mare do something similar last week except she was wearing it around her hips. She calmly stood there while I took it apart and removed it.

On the news just this morning, firefighters return form a call drove by a longhorn with his head stuck in a feeder.

They stopped and cut it out with their extraction equipment.

The bull was none too happy about the ordeal, it took all of them to hold the feed ring down while the other cut and pried him loose!

One of my feeders was gone early one morning when I went out to check things. I first thought that one of my wise-guy buddies was messing with me, but then I noticed the east end of the lot fence was torn down. I followed the trail of destruction and found the feeder about 500 feet down the hill from the lot. It was up on edge, so it might have rolled 400 feet. I never did figure out which animal was the culprit/victim. I "think" I would have liked to have seen the ruckus, but maybe not.

Do think might have they opened it up to get him in for a picture????? My neighbor has a feeder like that. Their horse got in it upside down and died. I lifted it out for them with an excavator.

buddy of mine said when he was a kid a bull came after him and is dad. i think they were hauling manure and move so the tractor and manure spreader was between them and the bull. the bull got his head under the spreader and flipped it snapping the drawbar off the tractor.

Don't like to be around them at all.

I had a gelbvieh do that a few years ago. His head was over the top. I'll do some digging and try to post.

When my buddy was still raising beef, they had a green chop feeder wagon- pulled behind a flail chopper, it was filled every other day or so, then pulled into a dry pasture to provide fresh greens for the animals. The cows could feed right through the sides.

One morning they found the bull with his head stuck between the top rail and the roof- hung himself till dead. A chainsaw was used during extraction...

College Ag professor told of a grower with bull pens in a barn with some equipment storage. Old bull in pen near new, young bull. One morning found the young bull dead, legs up, laying on his back on top of the disc stored next to the pen. No damage to the pen. Figured the two got together and the old bull got his head under the middle of the young one and tossed him over the fence.

One time my grandfather was taking care of a black Angus steer for someone. One day the steer got out and went to a field up on the hill. A neighbor offered to help and they went up there with a one ton dump. The steer was a pet so no problem to just tie him to the back of the truck. Once he was tied on the men got in the truck to lead him back to the barn. Truck wouldn't go, couldn't figure why. Got out to look and found the steer had put his head under the back of the truck and lifted it up.

probably the same way this one did. Heifer named Racer, from 2014. judging from the heifers back in the shed, I call it "Racer in the group W bench".

Was feeding with the skid steer this day. Opened gate and drove into lot. Was going to sit bale down and put ring over top of it. Bull started butting bale so I would push him back real slow than back up like he was pushing me. Next thing I knew I was stuck and bull walked around me and out the gate. Fun was over.

Name one thing a cow ain't done to kill or injure themselves?

hd6gtom · Jan 21, 2019

We had a big ol 1000 lb steer break thru a fence and fall butt down into a spring. Had to call a wrecker to winch the idiot up outta the spring. The spring was the only thing inside the fence. Dads has had cows inside hay feeders before. They can have been known to be kinda nasty when you take the hay ring off them. Good picture.

Our barn was poles with braces at 45 degrees on both sides and toward the middle. Yearling bull tried to jump through the brace, got his head caught and hung himself.

Yup, never underestimate the lack of intelligence of a cow

Jeff to cut our feeder apart to get a fool guernsey bull's head out.

ditchwitch · Jan 21, 2019

I say he dove right in feet first to eat.

seen that happen with a Walnut tree. Must've been rubbing its head & dirt bank crumbled beneath it.

That's why I keep cows. They make me feel smart.

Sometimes, until they outsmart me.

SWAG: Either it was staged, or the hoop was on end and the animal, seems to be a bull, was doing what bulls do and accidentally pushed it over on himself. On flat ground you can get away with leaving them on end as we all know.

GordoSD · Jan 22, 2019

He put his head in under one end just kept pushing and lifting it up. When the feeder cleard his rear end it fell down trapping him Get it of the reverse way. Slowly lift the rear with a loader and rope until it is clear of his backside.
