Do's and dont's when walking in fields containing cattle
Some information supplied by the Chief Excutive of the Ramblers who offers the following advice when walking in a field with calves| Do | Don't |
| Try not to get between cows and their calves | Don't hang on to your dog,if you are threatened by animals,let it go as the cow will chase after that. |
| Be prepared for cattle to ract to your presence, especially if you have a dog | Don't put yourself at risk. Find another way round the cows and rejion the footpath as soon as possible. |
| Move quickly and quietly, and if possible walk around them | Don't panic! Most cows will stop before they reach you. if they follow just walk on quietly |
| Keep your dogs close and under proper control | Don't forget to report any problems to the highway authority |
