Police issue cow warning after man seriously injured
After finding out that more people are killed by cows than by cyclists, maybe we should have a thread for cow related incidents?
Personally, I'm all in favour of cows being forced to have bells if their horns don't work.

Derbyshire Police were alerted to reports of a man being trampled by cows in Shirland, a small village 19 miles northwest of Nottingham, at about 7:40am on Friday. The man was taken to hospital with "significant, serious injuries," although they are not believed to be life-threatening at this stage.

That's a great price. Just bear in mind Import duty and handling charges will be applied pre delivery.

Houchen is utterly corrupt and morally bankrupt, as readers of Private Eye know all too well.

you mean collect them on the hoof like we do in CCIB?
These handsome beasties live in the field on my regular loop. On this winter trip they found bliss in my studded tyres, which were both scratchy and salty.
Further up is bigger herd which have a habit of just standing in the trail, forcing the timid cyclist to mince around a bog to get past without causing alarm.
The Belted Galloway cows and calves will be put out on the army ranges which I ride over on my evening commute this weekend, signs went up a week back, bulls arrive later. Keeps the heath heathlike. Small breed. And have been bread for docility too. Never had a problem with the mothers, but the little ones can get uppity. And then the mum's can get protective.
Most cow attacks involve dog walkers and cows worried for their kids, the advice seems to be keep the dog on a lead, yeah right, until the cows get aggressive then let the dog run off.
It can happen with just walkers,cyclists too, cows can be unpredictable, they arent domesticated, yes they can react more aggressively when there are calves they're protecting.
But I had this instance on a ride with a bull, over 50metres away in its own field, with a fence between us, I was on the road passing the field, it still clocked me as a perceived threat, went basically very aggressive, and tried to charge at us.
We left before it got to test how good the fence was, if we'd been in the same field I'd have been panicking for sure.
Bulls are aggressive. Maybe not all of them, all the time, but even farmers that have reared the animal have to be careful around bulls. Many a farmer has been injured, some even killed, by bulls.
Cows are pretty friendly and docile. Though, they can be protective of calves - and a few farmers have been injured, some killed, by cows with calf. But they are generally friendly animals though. They are still large animals though, and even a little accidental bump by a cow can send you flying.
Don't bring dogs near cows. Ever.
I do like a belted Galloway, the mint humbug of the cow family.
Cows and calves were brought on a few weeks back, fiftyish last year, couple of bulls soon, saw the herd in the distance.
Oddly enough only seem to get close interactions with them when it rains, which gives me a Garbage ear worm for the rest of the ride. They stick to the new growth in the areas subject to recentish fires.
Hardy breed, could stay out over the winter, but the people who look after them need light to sort them out in the evenings and the ranges are closed until well after shooting stops.
