max_wood 161 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 We calve 500 beef cows every year.anyone that is overly aggressive when they have a calf is culled.no second chances no exceptions.the bosses say they no cow is worth someones kids growing up without a dad.even still its a very dangerous place to be and if you get in a situation and have a stick,a hard crack on the very top of the head (where the horns would grow from) might just give you a few seconds.its sensitive for them and it can make them back up briefly. Im not advising animal cruelty just in an emergency 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGLURKS 874 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 If you do have a stick crack them over the nose seen an old boy kill a beast that way once it got him cornered in a field all he had was a spit bar she dropped like a bag of shit most beasts are just excited when there jumping all over the bit it's the ones you don't see are the deadly ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 What would be the best thing to do if one turned on you and you were a long way from the edge of the field. Would I be right in thinking it would be best to run at the cow waving arms and shouting? Those festivals involving bull fighting have small rings where you can go in them with a bullock. The locals say you should drop to the floor and ply dead if you can't get away....I wouldn't fancy trying it myself lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not going try it though especially with the Charolaise bullocks round here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,883 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 always sarcrafice the dog, My old dog would happily sacrifice himself for the rest of us and proved it several times. He used to round on them if they were behind us and go fuuckin mental barking and dishing out pain when they got too close. Never worried about cows when old Cooper was in the field with me. Gone but never forgotten ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
antg 1,767 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 my boy had a lucky escape a couple years back while lamping. cow charged him from behind. full on. he went flying in the air and landed, knocking the wind right out of himself. he was just a skinny young lad then. if he had being a bigger fella i think it would have being a different storey. it never put him off though but learned him a valuable lesson. dangerous, unpredictable animals they are.

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I had a near miss when I was about 14 and out with the air rifles. We knew these particular cattle could be a bit lively, they were my mates uncles, but we were pretty close to the fence and thought we would be alright, we hadn't been in the field long and they came charging over, they looked more than just interested so we legged it and got under the barbed wire fence, these fuckers ploughed it straight down like it wasn't there. Luckily we only had a few cuts and bruises from scrambling under and over fences and didnt get trampled but I've been bloody cautious ever since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,034 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 The best thing to do is to pull the cows front legs apart which tears it's heart in half same as with dogs, a bloke in the pub told me this and he also said he was in the foreign legion so it must be true. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 It helps if you can send your dog on, it's normally the dog there afterSpot on, We have cattle on our place.The cow won't have attacked the woman what normally happens Is the cow goes for the dog the dog shits its self and runs to its owner then the cow runs through its owner to get to the dog.
