I've posted this little story here before, but - I got it good from a steer once. He was normally pretty easy going, shown by the 4H kids. Got back from a fair where he had been acting up, so I went in to get him out of the stock trailer where he was tied.
He came around on me and somehow pinned me with one arm locked in a corner of the trailer, and pinned my other arm against my side with his halter lead, the other end of which was tied tight to the trailer.
He was a polled hereford so no horns thank god. He was trying his best to rip me up though, and it still didn't feel too good even without the horns. He was pushing hard with his head just grinding my rib cage.
I suddenly became acutely aware of how "it" happens. How things can be going normally and next second you're in real trouble. It's easy to think you're too good to get hurt - "oh I'd do this or that" to get out of imagined situations. But I was pretty much just a rag doll at that point. I couldn't do anything but take the beating.
It was an odd feeling.
Fortunately my wife saw what happened and jumped in and put that crazy steer right in its place, and got me out of there.
Kind of humiliating to be saved by your wife, but I can say I also gained a new level of respect for her that day.
