Dee’s story
“Cows circled us, one with horns butted my husband several times. We tried to stay next to the hedge. The cow wouldn’t leave us alone. The other cows followed but ran ahead. We turned towards the gate and ran, cow came after us. I fell over, went into full panic attack mode. My husband stayed calm and helped me to the gate. It was a close shave, I felt they were on the verge of stampeding.”
Dee adds “Cows shouldn’t have been there. They were aggressive and dangerous”
