Incident number: 1229
Response ID 329,262,000 Date: 16/4/26
Location: Preston Bagot, Warwickshire. Grid reference 176644
2 people, no dog
Report: “Walking around the edge of a field the cows charged. I had to climb over a barbed wire fence while my husband ran around the corner of the field.
It would be great to see special fencing protecting public footpaths that are frequently used for cattle grazing.”
Minor injuries were sustained and the incident was reported to the police & the local authority who said they would log the incident and that it is important to report them.
Cattle Safety 
At the risk of generalizing, I live in the countryside and have come across two broad attitudes amongst farmers. One is well disposed towards walkers. The other doesn’t want us about and thinks we shouldn’t be on their land. But public footpaths are there to be used. If a dog attacked someone it would be put down. Many people don’t perceive cattle as potentially dangerous. Anyone for fencing?😂
