Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Limousin cattle are the most aggressive and unpredictable (not the pedigrees as the dodgy temperaments are not bred from and they are often well handled for showing) cows more so than bullocks, charolais & belgian blues & freisians are among the most docile Bulls with dodgy temperaments are usually well known and a bull alone in the field is more dangerous than a bull running with cows 9/10 cattle are bluffing when they charge but if the cow has a calf and charges she means to kill you Bring a stick when walking through fields with cattle it makes you appear bigger Having a dog on a lead is an invitation for cattle to charge you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,763 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Tend to avoid them whenever possible. You learn pretty fast as a kid to read their body language, lol. They have a nasty habit of leaving a calf tucked up in long grass near a hedge which you can't see untill the mother goes ape shit! My lurcher hates them, I'll try to stay away from them but when you get one that just wants some I don't mind my bitch driving it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,118 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I remember some prat in the bulldog game years ago telling me a story about when he had let his top notch proven gamedog into a field with a handful of cows to give it a " feel for things " .......within 5 minutes he realised his dog was being killed and didnt have the bollocks to go in and try to save him and ended up losing the poor dog.......plenty of ignorance out there when it comes to cows/horses etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Saw a bull once get its head stick in a f*****g great big galvanised ring feeder, it was throwing the thing around above its head like it was a tin can. Cows, Bulls, anything that could easily kill me if it wanted to I try to be wary of lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had to catch a cow earlier in the year, she did the same with an old rusty mountain bike, she went mental around the field, left her to calm down and with the help of a bucket of nuts 2 of us eventually got it off her. Some folk avoid... I have little choice but to help, we still had to have vet out to stitch her leg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I rounded a bend t'other week and came face to face with a cow. Those of you who know how I feel about that can imagine my reaction I avoid them at all costs. Creepy things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Cattle can be aggressive, had a dog thrown over a dry stone wall. Used to work with Jerseys, the bulls were very aggresive, they would throw round bales of straw into the air, and also threw the farm manager about like a rag doll one day, they would attack the tractors clearing out the sheds..............Saying that im fine with cattle but find horses are even worse with dogs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
