I`ve done a fair bit of foot trimming in my time. Never had the benefit of a rollover crush though. :(

I worked on a farm to many years ago mention and the charolais bull was too big to go in the crush.Vet had to put him to sleep .He was the most docile bull I've ever known but he seemed to know what the vet had in mind and went for him.He just managed to vault the gate before the bull bent the gate like it was plastercine.
