I guess I cut my feet and legs every Spring when I hand loaded off the manure pile every Spring. LOL

Never heard it said that way.
Land mines, pies, things that won't get through the language filter, but never cut my foot stepping in it.

I've never heard that expression and didn't know what you were talking about until examining the photo a little closer. Best I heard was the auctioneer at a farm sale warning people to not step in the "country shoe polish'.

Never heard that one, but stepped in many of those. It?s kind of like riding a bike, you never forget. You don?t even have to look, you know you?ve stepped into it.
Having said that...
One cold fall, I was digging some potatoes from the garden at the farm and needed a few more bushel baskets. They were in the attic of a shed, but you needed a ladder to get up there. So I reached to get an aluminum step ladder off the building - eye level high. I needed a better footing and stepped a little bit away from the building. When I set my foot down, I felt that all to familiar feeling when stepping into a cow pile - only I recalled instantly the cattle had been sold several years before... I looked down and I had stepped on a huge, coiled-up black snake. His head was lifted and mouth wide open and giving my a loud hiss. It was so cold, the snake could barely move. Me being warm blooded had no hesitation getting my foot off the snake and moving back - FAST!. By the time my heart beat fell to a safe level, the snake had slowly uncoiled and crawled under the building.

That reminds me of the story of the little bird that had decided not to fly south one year.
All of his friends and relatives were leaving for the south, but he decided to stay where he was. After all, the weather wasn't bad and there was still plenty of food around.
As time went on, though, food was becoming scarce and it was getting much colder.
Finally, the little bird decided that he had enough, and started out to fly south. He was hungry and there was nothing to eat. He was cold and getting colder. His wings were starting to ice up. Finally, he could go no further and fell to the ground.
After a bit, a cow came along and dropped a big cow pie on him. At first, the bird was a bit angry at the lack of respect, but on further thought, he realized that the cow pie was warm. As it warmed him up, he began to feel better. Then he stuck his head up and started singing. ZAP!! A cat grabbed out of the cow pie and ate him.
The moral of the story is twofold:
1) not everyone that craps on you is your enemy.
2) not everyone that pulls you out of the crap is your friend.

friend of mine was hunting in the West Virginia mountains when his buddy stepped over a log & onto a rattlesnake. It was so cold the rattler could barely lift & turn its head. It intended to bite but just too cold. After that they stepped up onto the log & looked where they would step.
