[Closed] Angry cows!

Why people ride in Newcastle after dark I'll never know...

don't mistake youthful enthusiasm and curiosity for aggression. If they were really just heifers then they would never hurt an adult human. If you were mistaken and in fact they were young bullocks; i.e. beef cattle then they could get a bit frisky and over energetic but if you hold your ground and do nothing sudden you should be fine. Cows with young could get a bit funny as well but surely you would have described them diffferently? If cattle are really a threat to safety they shouldn't be in a field where there is a public path (I think this is the law but stand to be proved wrong...). Hope you closed the gate properly anyway!!

You ponce!

I would have punched the first one that came near me, then asked if any of the others fancied a go.

Bastards. You can't let your life be ruled by cahs.

My dog excited one nearly enough to come through a fence today! Made me beat a hasty retreat!
Having witnessed a cow hurdle two fences when scared I'm rather cautious now!!

um is anyone liable for anything

There were a few young ones. They weren't curious they wanted to **** me up. Which is fair enough as they probably thought I was some sort of pervert, all dressed up in lycra. Not a bad judge of character as it happens.

A friend of mine was attacked by cow and kicked unconscious, worst that happened to me was being mugged by a gang of rowdy sheep when I stopped for lunch in the hills near edale, ****ers nicked my cheesy wotsits, there was just so many of them.

I got Scared t'other day was riding down a hill through a fiekd that usually has sheep in however this time it had a load of horses in each with a foal. this field is on the side of a hill and the exit gate and most of the field is hidden behind a copse didn't see the horses untill to late about 6 came for me proper shat me self i did.

Brilliant.

That's proper tickled me, nice one! The idea of a bunch of delinquent sheep! 😆

return immediatly and get your cow tipping revenge, do it now or they could enslave the lot of us!

Was he packing an Uzi?

Cows get a bit defensive at this time of the year. Some may have calves and they will stand up to you to defend them. That's why you should check for wee cows first. A few tonnes of beef and milk on the hoof will send you flying.

Don't cows kill more people than bulls? I know they're particularly edgy if they have calves, but I think any herd (including heifers) can end up stampeding if they get spooked.

I'd give any field with a variety of differently sized cows a warning - it either means cows and a bull, or worse, cows and their calves!

We gotta get those fat cheeky bulls into that big bloody metal ship!

a sheep did run across about 150yds of field to hit my front wheel and knock me off my bike once.

I was between it and the flock and I think it had a panic.

Cows at this time of year - steer clear.

Disgusting behaviour.

did you have cravendale in your backpack , its so good they want it back 😆

Well I wouldn't argue with a stampeeding cow or cows for that matter. As a vet I have been on the receiving end of several kicks (one to the groin area - ouch ) and barges etc and I'd rather come off my bike TBH 🙂
