How to get the kink out of a cow

My old rancher friend was telling me of this cow he had. It had gotten away from the rest of the herd a bit and wandered up into some loose shale on a hillside.

In trying to recover it's track the poor cow slipped and tumbled head over hooves down the hill.

Fearin the worst, the rancher rushed to the cows side. The cow seemed to be no worse for the experience except for the 30 degree kink in the middle of her back.

Oh, did I mention this was calving season and she was about to deliver? Sure enough! Well there wasn't much to be done except help the cow deliver the calf right there. Then for some time the rancher had to nurse Momma cow and baby cow till both were able to make it on their own.

Finally, back at the barn the Momma cow still had the kink in her back, So my rancher friend along with his hired hand, used his animal vet skills and drugged the Moma cow asleep.

Then using his best block and tackle skills, hoisted that cow up by it's hind legs, had the hired hand hold one end and the rancher twisted with all his might in the opposite direction. Afraid of breaking her in two he finally figured it was enough. (Not sure the hired hand was sure of any of it).

After letting Momma cow down, she finally woke up, no clue that she been half turned into a cow pretzel.

The bad news is that he wasn't able to straighten that cows back totally, but ya gotta figure, for a cow, a 10 degree kink is better then 30 degree's any day.

And thats how you unkink a cow
