There are young bullocks on some land where i shoot rabbits.They actually come running towards the sound of gunshot so that I have to shoot,pick up and leg it over a gate. I often wonder what anyone watching me would think

I recall several stories in the press last year where very experienced,elderly farmers were crushed by cows.

You were indeed locky mate.

Where can I get one of those treasures CW?the useless numpty I had ran for her life.Mind she did get stamped upon a few times.I wonder how your dog would react with 30 or so cattle about her,did you ever see her manage those kind of numbers?Hard to imagine any dog being able to subdue a load of nutty cows determined to end a life,but saying that I expect sheep dogs face that situation quiet frequiently.

I was bought up on a very large Dairy farm on the North Downs in Kent,my father used to manage a very large herd of Friesian's and they all showed respect for our old black collie "Nell" who would nip their heels to bring them in for milking etc.

Any other strange dog in a field would get chased out along with the owner!,Dairy breeds are worse than beef cattle and a Freisian bull or a Jersey bull are the most dangerous!,twice ive almost been nailed whilst walking out in the fields when i buncked junior school to go ferreting

this is how i do it ..when they come at you... wait until the last second ..side step throw your right arm round the cows neck and with your left hand grab its nose and then with your thumd and fore finger ram them in the nostrils and twist its head towards you bending its neck sharplyin an upwards motion and the beast will hit the ground ....keep the pressure on and dont relax till the beast does it will only take a few secs and thats job done it wont charge again ..hope this helps jigsaw ....you cant let them see the fear in your eyes ...other words never show fear . ....all the best snoops

It's my experience that cattle are never the same on any two days , totally strange animals IMHO............Al

:clapper: , 'tis a funny thing, an animals nose, many years ago I called at this yard to see a fella, not paying any attention to the time of day and thinking that everybody was always "there", not going home, just like at ours.

Anyway, jumped out of the van closing the door and walking towards a shed I heard it , huffing, puffing and travelling at speed, then I saw...........a Doberman at full tilt oh feck!, too late to leg it , so I did what I always do to my mutts..............grab it by the snout , wanted to play big time ........thank feck, the fella couldn't believe it, he wasn't alone!...................Al
