K’s story

“Cows ran over and crowded me from the second I got in the field, not deterred by big stick I was holding. Lots of loud and angry sounding bellowing. They surrounded me and were not backing off as I moved so it was impossible to go forward. I edged back and went around through other fields.”

K wants “Extra fencing along side of field to enable safe access, or housing cows in separate field”
