Today, a calf kicked a needle straight into my arm hard enough to make me stab myself. The good news is I'm now fully vaccinated for cow diseases. FML
ihatecoldfeet tells us more.
hey op here, wow the things city people don't understand! First off, each and every calf must be vaccinated or they could become Ill.Second I wasn't in front of the calf, the person holding the calf let go of it unexpectedly

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

First it's the vaccine, then you'll have the urge to eat grass. Then the transformation begins

Jenny McCarthy could use one of those shots.

Just did that yesterday. Got my B12 shot trying to wrangle a feisty calf! Those little buggers are hard to hang on to!

At least things didn't end up shitty. I'm just getting your goat. I'm a little cocky. I won't milk it any more. I'm getting a little horse.

But most city people understand that you should avoid injecting yourself with cow vaccine ;)

For those who didn't understand: OP got a shot in the arm, not a shot in the calf.

I feel your pain, OP! I've had every wormer and antibiotic under the sun sprayed in my eyes from a faulty needle/syringe. I have yet to stab myself, though. That sounds horrible. Wasn't there any sort of stanchion/head catch that you could hold the cow in?

We always run ours through a chute, it helps a lot.

Wasn't there a chute or something that the cow was in. Your working conditions are worse than mine and I just work for my school at our cow field.

That sucks. I took a hoof to the jaw the other day banding lambs when the person holding the legs decided that it was being good and would be ok to let go and it nailed me right off.

Protected from cow diseases but at risk of bovine autism. Pros and cons ;)

It's okay, he didn't miss much...

#56 I think the joke is that "vaccinations cause Autism." so since OP got the shot instead he is at a risk of cow Autism. Still not funny.

This same thing happened to me.. It was an automatic needle gun and because I work for a high school ag department I had to go have blood tests and fill out about 50 pages worth of paperwork. Good news is I'm vaccinated again bovine aids.
