Killed while hog dogging

Circle C--It was real bad. The cow was stomping and goring him and I was running as fast as I could but there was nothing I could do. Those cows didn't just run off but kind of backed off a little and looked at us. We needed to check on Brian but you could not take your eyes off of them.

The part that scared me so bad was that we had to check for a pulse to see if he was alive. It took him a while to come around and he was out of it.

People have made fun of me for years because I take so much gear with me--especially vet supplies for the dogs. It sure came in handy that day. Always hear "I got one of those at home" and I always tell them "it had just as well be on the moon for all the good it is going to do you".
