‘I hit my head and was knocked unconscious’

摘要

t was a stressful spring day. We had just finished TB testing and I was getting some sheep in across the road. They went in the opposite direction to the way I wanted, so I sent the dog after them and followed on the quad bike.We were about to start lambing, so the ewes were heavily pregnant. The dog turned the sheep and all of a sudden they were heading towards me. I didn't want to drive straight into them, so I turned the bike to avoid the ewes.I can't remember exactly what happened, but I must have turned too quickly on the road. The bike flipped over and ended up on top of me. If I had a helmet on, I would probably have been fine. But I wasn't wearing one.
