The field next to our house has young heifers fattened up for market every year from May to September. They are frisky to put it mildly.
Elderly gent was gored picking mushrooms about 15 years ago - despite being warned. Ambulance in our yard - we had to partially dismantle barbed wire fence to allow injured man to be carried out on a stretcher.. broken leg iirc.
They may look docile but 20 heifers running weigh a LOT - at least 15 tonnes - so arguing with them is foolish.
No-one walks through the field with dogs: the heifers chase them...
On the other hand they are very curious and happily lick my hands over the fence. Nice sweet smelling breath.
