Cattle ranching?

Question

i was in a ranch a few days ago.....a cow....a cow..kicked me in the balls..... i feel guilty, cuz he dident do it on purpose, and he tryed apolagizing...but i ingnored him...what should i do?

Answer 1

First, you said cow but them referred to the animal as "he".  If it was a bull in drag no apology should be accepted, in fact may be seen as approving his advances.  In this case drop it.

(Unless, of course you wish to pursue it.)

If it was in fact a cow a short letter explaining that verbal apologies  received while in testicular distress are often unheard (unherd if a little bovine humor is not beyond the level of personal relationship you two have established).  It ill-behooves you to let this matter slide, write immediately.

Answer 2

For heavens sake stop blaming yourself.  You are obviously still in pain, and it's time to get medical help, if only to help the pain.  Obviously, you didn't know enough not to stand behind a cow, but now you do, and you won't make that mistake ever again, right?  So forgive yourself, and tell your folks what happened.  Lots of people learn that lesson just the way you did, but we try to warn as many as possible.
