Horses kick; cows do too. Dust isn’t good for asthma. Tractors, threshers and other ranch equipment don’t always act like they’re supposed to. Pesticides applied to your cattle feed can’t be healthy. And finally, you may feel so connected and close to your herds that when a wolf or other predator appears for a midnight snack, you may try to chase it off, perhaps becoming the snack yourself.
In other words, let it be known that there are many dangers to cattle ranching. Please turn off your tractor before you get out of it.
