#107 Jillaroo Katie's chicken wrangling went wildly wrong!

The life of a Jillaroo can be a challenging one. Working in all weather, sleeping under the stars and regularly setting up temporary muster camps, are all part of the job. No two days are ever the same. But for professional Jillaroo, Katie Fairfax, one of the most dangerous and challenging days of her life did not come about during a cattle muster, or a long-distance road trip...or even while handling heavy machinery. Instead, Katie's life-threatening event and her resulting retrieval by the RFDS, occurred after she started chasing a runaway chicken...and cut her artery with a lawn sprinkler!
