Re: worst injury?
Hay me too! I was letting a young calf suck on my fingers to try to get it to drink milk directly from a pail (rather then a nipple). I guess they got in a little to far, and I found out that cows are born with molars. Squashed the end of one finger.

Re: worst injury?
the worst bite I ever got, was from a cat
three big dogs were fighting over him and I thought I'd just reach in there and pluck him out from their midst he was in the crazed, slightly glazed over state, where it's just fight fight fight he bit my thumb so hard, his teeth went through the thumbnail in two places and to the bone in a few more places plus the raked wrists and arms by the time I had gotten him wrapped up and to the emergency cat hospital, my thumb had it all: rubor, tumor, calor, dolor (redness, swelling heat, pain) and loss of function in fact the thumb was so red, it was purple, and it looked like it was going to burst the receptionist of the cat ER sent me to the next human ER by the time I got there I was feeling uncomfortably itchy, hot, and stiff all over and much of my skin had turned beet red I was having an anaphylactic reaction to the cat dander so they shot me up with a bunch of stuff and I think I was fine a couple of hours later except the cat didn't make it through the night and it took a long time for that thumb to get back to normal I think almost a year
