I lost my leg to a drag auger now above knee amputee I think I now what it's like seeing farm work being done by others.The good thing is that we are here and the help you get is that people like doing that kind of thing for you.I was a bullfighter for the rodeo assoc. And now sitting on the side lines watching.
I understand your fathers gut instinct, but I bet you would have been fine if he had just turnd the auger off. In todays struggling economy, I hope you don't have to sell your cows or file for bankruptsy. I love the way that the community came to help you in this time of need, don't take it forganted, ours is a special community. I'm sorry you 2 got injured in such a hard time, but i'm shure that you'll find a way... and Sean, your outlook on being a smalltime farmer may look bleek, but if you keep trying, you may reach you dream.
What's really cool is that not 2 hours after the news crew left lastnight, Sean was voted Winterfest King by the majority of the school. When he was announced King, the whole gym just lost it. It was pretty awesome.
