I got a night call to see a cow in distress from an aged rancher so I headed out to his farm. I saw the cow in the pasture at dusk so I got my jack and bag and headed out to her. It got dark but I was on the ground mutating the foetus so I could deliver it and something licked the back of my neck. I though it another cow but I turned around to see the head of a bison bull staring at me. I figured I was dead so I just as might go ahead and die doing my job. I got the calf pulled and the bison just stood there watching me. I finished up and headed to the gate as quickly as I could where I met the old farmer who informed me that he also had several bison...I went home and cleaned out my shorts..
Holy Moley You got lucky! I wonder if it sensed the cow was in danger and needed help?
My neighbor had a ‘pet bison’ that he was supposedly on good terms with- but one day the ‘pet’ charged him in the gut and caused a big gash- Docs got it taken care of, but he got infection from the hospital apparently, and they couldn’t get it under control and it killed him- Even ‘pet’ ones can’t be fully trusted- We always thought he was crazy walking around inside the pens- he woudl always brush it off though, but ended up paying the ultimate price-
