I worked on my Uncle's dairy farm and one time I placed the disinfectant rag on a teat not realizing she had scraped it on a barbed wire fence. She kicked me so hard I flew a few feet across the milk house.
Hurt like heck and all I could hear was my Uncle laughing.
Your comments bring back my memories on working in a 6 cow stanchion barn in high school. I nearly had my head kicked off a few times at first until I learned that the safest place to put my head was deep in their flank while “stripping” them out.
Good memories...
