| Well for starters, I don't feel a person should be mixing using Micotil and pasture roping. I question the percentage of people that should even be using that product because they are too careless. Just like gun safety, however most people do take gun after courses to get hunting licenses. How many farm & ranch workers are actually exposed to BQA and proper pharmaceutical usage?
I bring up the practice of putting needle guards in your mouth,, while it looks cool to do filling a syringe like on T.V. but after first fill you have drug residue from needle that leaks onto needle guards. Not smart in my opinion to be exposing that to your lips. Ever watch your vet or personal physician or nurse glove up to handle drugs and exam you? Not saying you need to golve up to do everything, but in some instances it would be prudent.
I watched a ranchers hired man putting needle guard in his mouth while using Micotil, I told him he shouldn't be doing it. He just scoffed at me. Just like I watched a older farmer stand on 3 point hitch to help weight it down while his son ran tractor post auger. I asked him not to do that, at a community scales project. He also told me he knew what he was doing.
Yup a ranch in Idaho was doing that and had a farm worker lose two legs and a arm doing same thing. How would you like to be first responders to show up to that? My cousin's responded to that one. Wrapped limbs up in bedsheet and set them on his chest as they slid him into lifefilght.
As for roping hard and fast, nobody in this area does it. Too many things to go wrong. We're just not cowboy enough I guess.
Too much crap happens when you try to be safe, sad to see this family lose a father for poor choice of drug usage. | |
