Location: swung.fever.quiz nr Cwmoody Wales

Group of cows with calves in the field, they were a Charolais/Limousin cross.

Account: ” I was crossing a field on a public footpath with my dog on a lead. A cow was resting under some trees, spotted me and raced across towards me. The cow initially attacked my dog. I tried to save my dog and was then attacked by the most aggressive cow. I was knocked to the ground and butted by this aggressive cow. I tried to get up a couple of times and was knocked back down. Eventually I managed to get to a round bale feeder and sort refuge where I rang the emergency services for help.

I suffered extensive bruising and cuts to my face and severely bruised or broken ribs, I was assessed by paramedics at the scene and a helicopter landed at the location an ambulance was present also. Plus half dozen police officers. I was advised to go to hospital but refused because of my personal circumstances. I I signed a release form accepting responsibility for my own well-being and was sent home. My dog had a limp for sometime after the attack.”

I was walking across on the footpath with George on a lead, the cows were in the corner of the field near stile into next field.

They came walking towards me, George panicked. I shouted at them to move back and George ran in front of me to protect me and one of the cows trampled him.

George was trampled underfoot by one of the cows, he screamed in pain when he was trodden on by the hooves. We took him to the emergency vet to be checked over and to have an ultrasound scan for internal bleeding. He is bruised and sore but we are fortunate there is no internal damage it could have been a lot worse. The vets bill was over £500 for scans and pain medication.
