C Taylor’s story
“My partner and I were walking with our dog on a lead along the coastal path which passed through a field of dairy cows belong to Surfing Cow Gelato. One cow started walking towards us. We stopped and my partner waved his arms and made a noise. The cow stopped but the herd began walking, then trotting, towards us. Suddenly then were all running towards us. We ran through an open gate and closed it which deterred them but there were other openings in the hedge/gate. We only just made it through — the cows were a few meters behind us. We then started walking and the cows slowed down, still following us but this time they were walking rather than running.”
