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

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.

This sounds only familiar to what happens when you marry someone...

Been there, sorry OP but usually everyone else gets a good laugh at the branding.

It hurt me to read this. Hopefully you're all right and didn't hurt yourself too bad, OP.

I've had this happen to me a few times when we were vaccinating dry cows. She kicked back, hit the gate (and snapped the chain holding it closed), which hit my dad and sent a needle into my hand during handoff. I think I was about twelve when it happened.

Welcome to life as a vet tech. That's how I became vaccinated for equine encephalitis, canine distemper, parvo, feline distemper, calici virus, and canine bordatella.

@kibster9: you may want to educate the general public, but they won't say "oh so that's what they're really called". In the grand scheme of things, when someone drives by a pasture or farm where they will see cattle, the only thing they're going to know them by are cows. Doesn't matter to them if they're actually a bull, steer, heifer or calf- they're cows and that's all they'll ever be to them. Trust me, most people don't even know the term calf, it's just a baby cow. I'm a fourth generation dairy farmer, so I know the way an average person deals with these terms. You try and correct them and they just keep saying the same thing. Just stop with your whole "I'm better than you" attitude. It's a cow and that's all its ever going to be to the general public.
