Have a care. A similar thing happened up this way a few years back and the
poor bastard who's bike (and back) were wrecked found himslef up for the
replacement cost of the ?$500k Prize Bull he hit on a public road on a dark
night. And even though he was pretty much incapable of working he got not a
cent for his injuries (the Livestock related clause specifically prevents
Cockies being held responsable for damages caused by their beasts (or
limits in to sweet fuck all))
