Farm Accident Resulting In A ER Visit! 

I didn't crack my head, I just started bleeding! I think a concussion test may be in order young man! 😂

Love the videos! The sarcastic humor cracks us up. Hard hat and clear safety glasses would save you head or your eye in the future.

When I was in the USN our berthing compartment had two hatches to get into/out of on either side with ladders. I would go up and down the hatch and ladder like 30 times a day just as a matter of course. One day the night check (we worked two 12 hour shifts at sea) shut one of the hatches to paint and do maintenance. I headed to the ladder and was looking in my shaving kit while I was taking the ladder two steps at time not looking up. I ran straight into the steel hatch at speed. When I came to there were guys everywhere around me and I was covered in blood. I looked just like you did! Except I knocked myself unconscious and had a bunch of other cuts from the fall. Ended up with 4 staples and 12 stitches from my hairline down to the top of my nose. The remarkable thing was it didn't scar like they all kept telling me it would. You can see a slight jagged line but for the most part it just looks like I frown too much and it caused a crease from age. But head wounds bleed like hell. The poor bastard that found me said he thought I had been shot!

Holy crap Sawyer, glad your OK. If it's any consolation I really enjoyed the pig sorting.

my buddy who used to go to the gym with me had just gotten off of work one evening (he worked at a hog farm) and he didn’t shower before coming to the gym… woof. talk about stinking it up while lifting weights. hog poop is no joke 😭😂 glad your head is okay

Glad u r ok Sawyer speedy recovery

Get well soon Sawyer .

just found your channel. tork started up my building in 2006, and was just getting into sales when my dad built his a year or two later. you can see them in the back of one our latest videos, i'll post a short cut to it in a reply comment, we're just happy we found your channel

Great job sorting pigs Tork and Sawyer

😱 OMG. Pls be safe and I wish your recovery soon Sawyer.. 🙏❤️

Poor Sawyer. Loved watching you load the pigs. They are so fun to see…I laughed out loud!

Thank you very much I watch every one of your videos

thanks for another video, you are taking the old saying no pain, no gain further than you need to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sawyer take it easy. Good video guys 👍

Wow Sawyer glad you are alright...maybe hang some plastic chains down off of that...I am 6'4" I worked at feedlot that had low bar on a gateway that only used part of time...anyway the second time i hit it, I put some drop down chains on it that make me see or duck lower...also instead of just a like button need a LOL button your dad so funny !!!

Glad it wasn’t worse. Augers don’t give when you run into them. Been there done that. OUCH!

Nice piece guys, thanks.

I like DAD'S beard!!!!!

I went to the vet when I had a good cut in my head, 9 metal stitches and 10 minutes later I was out again, much faster than the ER. oh, and you don't need anesthesia on your head. Ha, when my belt has to go on the last hole, I just make a few more, then it doesn't look that bad

Getting hit in the head is how I get some of my best ideas. !

Man I love watching y’all. Y’all are funny. God bless y’all!! Y’all some hard working men!!🙋🏼‍♂️👍😁

Glad you weren’t hurt to bad Swayer I really enjoy the videos you and your dad put out great stuff 👍👍👍

Praying for you for a speedy recovery

I think those pigs know what is up, and the day will not will for them.

Thoughts and prayers 🙏 🐖 🐷 🐽 🐗

Great video Tork and Sawyer

My husband used to haul pigs from central Florida up to middle Georgia, they loaded easy here but in Georgia they piled up to stay warm and had to be pushed out in the cooler weather.

Love Dad's comment ...his belt is on the last hole....mine too !!! a fat guy can relate.... 🤣🤣🤣

After seeing how bad that wound looked. I would tape foam padding around all the feed boxes , Hoping you heal quickly. I am sure nurse Ksat will take care pof you . 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wow glad that you, sawyer are doing well, be careful where you go with pigs !😉👍🐖🚜❤️

Dang buddy Keep safe!!!

A big hello from a small town Thurles in Ireland 🇮🇪

We have barns where the chutes are inclined waaaaaaaay up there. Mountain climbing pigs. Have one of those market pigs turn on you in the chute and come flying down the chute and hit you in the knees. Hyper extend your knee and have it bending the wrong way. Had 2 guys have it happen to them. That's a definite ER run. Loading hogs can definitely be a workout.

1:30 that's what I also do in the barns when I'm shipping pigs. If they can't turn around the hallway they're already big enough to be shipped. I'm managing 3 sites of a company called Hylife here in Manitoba, Canada. I always watch your videos and get some ideas about pigs and stuffs.

Glad you are okay Sawyer. You all got good looking pork chops

Teamwork is a beautiful thing. Nice work, guys.

Still doing things the old ways, we use robots to sort our hog, the microchip tells the robot which pig is ready. then we have a belt escalator that takes everyone right to the truck, no problem loading, stop, turn around the belt keeps moving them forwards, piggy turns around and goes back, belt keeps moving them forwards. 2 great new tools we added back in 2020.

Sawyer, hope your staples are healing. Think the lifting belt is the trick. All the best.

Damn Sawyer you have had a rough month. Well get well soon. And Thank you for sharing.

my oh my you okay there buddy? ouchie very looking, clean that blood up freshly. amen 🙏

🤣🤣🤣 hey y'all gotta do what ya gotta do!

I hope you are doing ok try not to get hurt again

Can you show any ideas how to do sorting big pigs alone for shipping. Sometimes I'm alone in the barn and I need to sort.

I had a similar accident. I was helping work cattle and get them down an alleyway to the squeeze chute, and one mean cow backed up on me, smashing my right index finger. Ended up losing the nail, but no ER visit.

Should consider wrapping that hopper with an old blanket or something so that someone doesn’t hurt themselves worse

Careful there

OUCH! Glad you are okay now.

Oh goodness. Hope you are OK.

Praying Sawyer

Glad your ok!!! That's why you're suppose to wear a cap.

Beautiful upload, great job .. Merci

Look like some good fat healthy pigs ham and Bacon pork chops for the grocery store

Those dang side eyes - they have a wider FOV than you think! Mmm, bacon in the makin'.

When you dad was your age he would have just slapped some pig crap on that boo boo and kept going !!!! 😂

Hey Sawyer maybe a hockey helmet might be in the future?.HAHAHAHAHAHA. Don't remember loading in the real cold but I only was there part-time.

Hay guys I am a new subscriber and I like your videos I went back at least 1 year I seen the video that ben put out on his channel and I liked it you guys cool to watch hope sawyer is ok keep up the good work

Sawyer, glad the bump on noggin wasn't too serious. Maybe it's time to put some pieces of pool noodles on this boxes. Don't want to do a repeat!! Hey a question, do you guys get an average weight on the hogs from where they go? It would interesting to know how big they are. They looked great; clean, healthy and happy.

I have 2 questions 1st, when the pigs 🐖 leave do they go to another farmer or freezer camp? 2nd are you required to shower when you enter building and not able to wear street clothes in building? Thank you

Ive always wondered how health insurance works for farmers. I would imagine there is some healthcare consortium that provides some sort of health insurance for farmers. Healthcare is damn expensive.

I really like this one... best ever vid

you know what they say ....accidents happen so fast ! Head wounds always bleed excessive in compair to arm or leg. Helmet time !!!

That sucks you got hurt! Don't want to see the most entertaining hog farmer be down and out. Great content boys

Sawyer- you mentioned now that the hogs are gone, next up is pressure washing. What type of pressure washer do you use? I assume you’re not running a gas engine in the building due to fumes. Do they make power washing systems which allow you to connect your hose/wand into an overhead line at various locations throughout the building (sort of like air lines). Thanks!

Who else thought there was a WWE belt coming out for the squeal rumble. Lol

You get the staples like a Hockey player with no numbing?😂

Better to have youre belt on the last hole then the to have it on to hold youre back i quess, anyways dont mind youre hold spot, cat loves you anyways i hope, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

Better get Sawyer a hardhat. If he keeps his head.

Was all the proper paperwork filed with the TDF safety department after Sawyers head and back injuries. Safety department is probably losing their minds with two recordable in onw week. I can see all kinds of over reactions coming. Sawyer has at least an hour of classroom training on hog barn hazard awareness and I am sure junior team members will have to wear football helmets in the hog barn. On the upside we know if Sawyer gets injured the video gets a lot of views.

We need to get Sawyer a helmet

Feed hoppers are a little harder than your head. I bet you did see some stars with that hit. The best part you were in a sanitary environment. Not out in the city where it is very unsanitary. A little chewing tobacco juice and a shot of the Captain and all will be well. 😂🤪😊

See how sayer has matured from the thumb nail, holding a drill, and now he has to have support with the belt, he'll be older than torque, with issues lol

Maybe you need to wear bump caps with plastic inserts.

did you see Stars?

Sometimes I think Pigs Have their brains in the hind end..

Stand in the gate and block their way, they run over the top of you and into the truck.

does it hurt staple five while at it ? really i cant imagine it, painful is it - am sorry buddy 🤲

Onch!! Thanks 🥴.

so sorry askin this uh odd q, do pig do no. one or two cuz farm clean not dirty like other farm i see online . dont have to answer me if you dont want too

Thank god he stopped at the belt That was ah using his staples or head.😓glad yall right

Forehead, scalp cuts are awesome especially when mixed with sweat are awesome looking, getting the best gruesome looks for the bucks!! Thats why WWE stars would cut themselves in wrestling matches!

I'm curious about your experience with the healthcare system. Like, did you have to wait for hours at the ER, was this at a hospital some other situation? Did you get any surprised bills from out of network doctors or any surprise billing(you probably don't know this yet, it takes a while for the bills and paperwork to start rolling in). Maybe you just paid out of pocket to avoid the health insurance paperwork nightmare. I wonder about these thing because the first think I think about when thinking about getting health care is cost and do I really really need to access this health care system that is so bad Doctors and providers are quitting in numbers, private equity firms or buying up medical practices and health insurance is doing what they can to deny paying/coverage.

Just curious why does it seem y’all load hogs out late at night?

You know Sawyer they have Hockey or Football Helmets. I guess your mind was thinking of something else this morning and might had led you getting *bonked* You be careful!!

your dad nnice :)

I so like to see those fat hams heading for the trucks. Happy Granny, Oh I am sorry the bang on the head your head..

Hang 18" orange ribbons off of them and you'll keep them blood free.

oooouch

Not to seem mean but glad I am not the only person that does stupid things like that

Not an asshole Just the last Hole... I like that.

Wrap that thing with a pool noodle and duck tape.

time for a hardhat

Do you ever keep one piggy and feed the shit out of it just to see how big it grows 🐷🐷🐖

PG-13-L = Sawyer 🙄

Sad about the mishap. Just have some help with checking your cognitive skills. There is no such thing as an accident. I was raised on a 1400 acre Michigan farm raising 600 hogs at a time in the 40s, 50s and 60s. My grandfather didn't allow mishaps of any kind. He preached safety all the time. My father did too. Eaglegards...

you should be shorter and hitting your head on stuff would not happen
