Pete’s story
“The herd were not that far away when I entered the field, but I’m fairly used to walking through fields with cattle in this area. These were different than normal, all black in colour. I walked across the field, dog on lead, and they began to follow as a group. As we neared the gate on the far side, the lead animal started getting very close and aggressive, luckily the gate was near by now, so we just got through as the rest of the herd arrived. Very scary, though no injury.
I would like to see a national reporting site that can be followed up and acted on by HSE – eg warning livestock owners of incidents, dealing with rogue animals.”
