exaxtly they are unpredictable i wouldnt go into a field with a bull or cows with calves unless i had exit points . meself and jacko2009 came close a couple of weeks ago when about 40 cows and calves ran us out of a field

In all fairness the worst place to be is next to a fence if they were to push on your stuck between them and something solid !

I would be over that fence before they started running

Think I read somewhere that surprisingly dairy cattle are worse than beef cattle,,, and the old English shorthorn are the worst,,, not sure if my facts are correct,, but for some reason it's in my head they are.... Anybody else know if this is true

One of my trucking pals used to be a dairy farmer and always said the same I just steer(pun intended ) well clear been run off a field by bulls once to many times now.

Dairy cattle have far more human contact than beef cattle, more injuries are caused by dairy cattle because of this, most injuries being crush type against railings gates etc. but beef cattle especially with calves can be very defensive and actually do attack. hence the number of fatalities is higher than that with dairy cattle.

yup i do a lot of farm work and always have done,but even we dont take dogs any where where their are cows with calves! we dont even take the dogs near the galloways even of they have no calves they live on the hill for 8 months of the year and are bat crap crazy! the thing with cows,calves,bulls and dogs is. being able to read the situation and how they are.... a bit of common sence goes a long way!

Good advice there lads...

 

Cattle can be deadly,...more so,. if they have not been worked by,.. (and broken) to dogs..

Just jump up and down like a Zulu warrior while flapping your arm out like a dodo bird they soon back off like the old lads say there more scared of you then you are off them
