Narrative:The pilot was flying the helicopter sideways as he attempted to herd a bull into the paddock. He felt a shudder through the tail rotor pedals and the helicopter immediately began to rotate to the right. Full application of the left pedal was ineffective at arresting the rotation. After two and a half turns, the pilot was able to land the helicopter, cushioning the touchdown with the collective control. During the landing, the tail rotor struck a fence.
