Cows in fields

We walk in fields with our 2 dogs where there are always sheep but occasionally cows. There are about 8 cows and 8 calves. We occasionally meet them at gates but were unaware how dangerous a situation we were in earlier this year. Trolly our bull terrier goes mad when he sees cows.

In the Daily Mail a woman has been killed by a group of cows whilst walking her 2 dogs. The cows look on dogs as wolves and so a danger.

Robin Page has had a few mishaps over the years.

'spooked' by fire engine siren

Postscript: Where we walk there have been at least two incidents regarding cattle.
Instance 1. Calf comes trotting down lane (its still like that there nowadays) bull terrier gets hold of calf by the ear. Calf starts bellowing. Dog owner tries to get dog to let go and manages to get his hand in the dogs mouth as well as the calf's ear. Mum cow hears baby in distress and comes charging down the lane. Next door neighbour manages to choke dog into letting go. Disaster averted. Bull terriers do not lock on they just will not let go. Its handy to have a small metal lever in pocket. When applied to the back of the jaw the dogs jaws can be prised open. When it happened to one of our dogs I used my ignition key lol.

Instance 2. Same road (Ffordd y Blaenau) Young man takes dog up to the fields. Cow has just given birth to calf in field. Cow attacks young man the cow's horn pierces the young man's groin. It happened when there were few phones. Someone cycled into Treuddyn to call for an ambulance. Young man bled to death.
As told by ex parish councillor Idris Jones for Treuddyn.
