Chid 6,550 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 . In the period 1990-1998 the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) reported 18 cases in which members of the public were attacked by cattle in fields. It is of the utmost concern that almost half of these incidents were fatal. Although there are specific legislative restrictions on the keeping of bulls, these do not apply to cows and bullocks, which can also be very aggressive. This section gives advice on minimising the risk of an attack by all types of cattle, as well as summarising relevant aspects of the law. 5. Section 59 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 bans the keeping of bulls in fields crossed by a right of way, except if they are: under the age of 10 months; or not of a recognised dairy breed, provided that they are accompanied by cows or heifers. ‘Recognised dairy breeds’ are defined as the following: Ayrshire, British Friesian, British Holstein, Dairy Shorthorn, Guernsey, Jersey and Kerry (see page 78 of Navigation & Leadership (4) for an identification chart showing these breeds). law only apply to bulls not cows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
