fcuktheban 140 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Now sheep, sheep are the devil as soon as you turn your back on them and then look back they are 10 steps closer to you than before Chickens, I don't even want to talk about Chickens, when you go in to feed them it's like Hitchcocks "Birds" all feathers and blood Quote Link to post

stewie 3,387 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 cows will generally walk up to you and if you just stand there they'll keep their distance, they're not as dangerous as horses as long as they don't have calves. Cows don't bother me at all but I definitely wouldn't trust a horse, too big for my liking! Now what would you say is the difference in size between a cow and a horse that it's too big, 2"...4"...what's your cut of point for too big cows are pretty gormless, and don't have the speed and power of a horse. Don't get me wrong, if a cow wanted to I'm sure it could kill a man, but they don't, they just stand there and gorp at you. A horse is a lot more powerful, and bigger....I don't necessarily mean in height, I mean in power, build, weight etc.....a horse could really do you some serious damage! true mate you never here of many motors with cow power :D Quote Link to post

Moll. 1,793 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 If any live stock goes for you or the dog, best thing is to let it off the ficking lead!!! There are signs on some fields here. Keep dogs on lead but if the livestock do challenge to let go of the dogs (words to that effect) The majority of people you read about getting killed are those who have tried to save their dogs which were on leads. It is normally the dogs the livestock go after. Quote Link to post

stevemac 449 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Took the dogs out for mooch today, went down a public path which as fences both sides . There horses in the joing field, so keep Tod my on the lead, he is ok with them but not over keen , and likes to keep a distance from them which is a good thing. Went on my walk was out for 2 1/2 hours, so started to come back home. As i started to walk the path, a feckin horse was in (the) path 150yds up the top feck knows how it got in, then saw it must have smashed to stumps out , so part of the fence was low to the ground . Anyway got over the fence where i was with Tod on lead, Bryn was loose but only 4-5 yds in front, got up to the horse, called Bryn to me and walked slow past the horse in joing field, gave agood 10ft gap. This twat jumped the little bit of fence, and kicked Bryn in the side he went flying into the edge. . Feck me was i mad i hit that b*****d right in the head with my stick, good job it wasnt my gun .If somebody with kids was walking down, it would have been very dangerous . Bryn seems ok, but i will see how he is tonight later on another walk What a b*****d bird mabe a bigger stick next time, my son has been hunting a property near home of late where he was asked to remove the feral pigs that live there. So he has tried a couple of methods such as bow hunting and trapping before taking the dogs there to clean up the remaining pigs first time he has the dogs on the place a 2yr old colt came screaming up the paddock to try and kill his pigdogs the dogs managed to just get through the fence with the horse striking at their tails they then went back to his ute and sat on the back. We spend a lot of time stock proofing our dogs as we hunt around stock all the time but never had to deal with a b*****d like that before. last week he got a call that the pigs were back so he headed back with his dogs but this time he took my stock whip same thing again the b*****d wants to take to the dogs till Ethan wheeled around with the stock whip and cracked it in front of its nose he hasnt had any trouble with that horse since.

It is normally the dogs the livestock go after. Aye moll, best to let the dogs go. Horses are dangerous animals especially a mare even worse in season lol. What people don't understand is horses kick when playing too. Most injuries to horses are caused by other horses kicking them. As for folk saying cows aren't as powerful or as fast as a horse, aye that's true but the are stronger and faster than you!!! Quote Link to post
sussexpoacher 45 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 My big dog is the spitting image of bryn, i cant take him if im ferreting a horse yard as the horses will ignore my other dogs and make a beeline for him, at the first sign of an arsey horse he`s off back to the motor. TIP if you point at a horses eye and walk towards it the horse will back off, also the words Steak and chips seem to have an effect. hope bryn is ok. P Quote Link to post
