I was reading the thread about run away round bales of hay and it reminded me of the time I had a round hay feeder take off on me on a Hill. The hill was only moderate where it started but it picked up speed as the hill got steeper and it must have rolled at least 1000 yds before it landed near my barn. What was funny about it was how it scared the cattle which were on their way up to eat when they saw it coming. The thing was bouncing 10 feet in the air and must have reached 20 miles per hour when they saw it coming. They all scattered in the other direction with their tails in the air except for a big 1800 lb. Limosine bull which stayed calm and just stood there and watched. Finally as it got closer and closer to him he decided to high tail it but it was too late. On a bounce it clipped him across the back and brought him to the ground. After I saw him get back on his feet and run I must have sat there and laughed for 5 minutes. It was not funny until it was all over and all was safe. Are there any other of you hill and mountain farmers who have had objects get away from you?
