As a wise man once said, never work with children or animals. Fox 13 Tampa Bay reporter Russell Rhodes was reminded of this during an early-morning live broadcast after a cow pooped on his feet.

While reporting from a county fair, Rhodes tries unsuccessfully to wrangle an uncooperative calf. Then, almost as if in protest, the animals drops a cow pie on his shoes.

But instead of playing it off, Rhodes stops the broadcast and becomes highly irritated. It’s just digested grass and grain. Take it easy, pal. Don’t have a cow. Oh you knew that was coming!
