Excitement in the neighborhood today. Snowy slick roads. A cattle truck hauling a load of fat steers headed to the slaughter plant slid of the corner in front of the house. That happened at noon. The traffic finally got moving shortly before 6:00. I am cold tired and hungry. We had to wait for the tow truck so we could unload the cows. The weight of the cows in the trailer were keeping the whole thing from going completely over the hill. Once the cows were out we had to hook a D-7 Cat to the back of the trailer to pull it back up. Then the tow truck pulled the truck back up on to the road. We have several holes in the fences. A couple big rocks down on the driveway. And that narrow road around the corner is now narrower. But thankfully no people or cattle were injured in making this wreck. The truck and trailer were not so fortunate. And the driver may need new underwear. It is 30 or 40 feet straight off to the driveway. The truck was totally over the hill. The front of the trailer plowed in and stopped the truck.

Sounds like it could have been way worse.
