Thank you - really useful. I used to walk my late dachshund (always on a lead) through a field with cows in. At the time, I didn't know the dangers - as long as I left them alone, I assumed they'd do the same and in fairness - that's exactly what happened. The most they'd ever do was glance in our direction and then carry on eating the grass - they didn't even approach us like in this video. I wouldn't do it now, it's not worth the risk.

Brilliant stuff but yes, what a year of contrasts. Incidentally sounds more likely it will be Rooks you had a few issues with, rather than Crows but incidentally they really go for wireworms and crane fly larvae (leatherjackets) like it’s no tomorrow. I can never get enough of seeing Sunflowers and other wildlife habitats on farm when carrying out my studies. You have a beautiful farm, Richard. Take care and best wishes, Tony.

I’m sure timing is everything when it comes to the farming calendar but increasingly we clearly can’t rely on it. Patience is key and as the sun eventually gathers strength so will you and your crops. I think a few more hard frosts and even a bit of snow in the next couple of weeks then some warm sunshine will soon cheer our food and wildlife producers up no end. All the best, Tony.

If you move, they move, if you walk, they walk, if you run, they run, if you stop, they stop. You can push yourself into them slightly and they will get out of your way. They are just stupid.

I found a sheep like this once & didn't know what to do thinking it had broken its leg or something.

nice vid! I just want to say that if the cow has a cattle nearby, be careful walking towards them! I did this with my dog on the mountain and it was going well until I tried walking towards this huge cow with a bell around its neck and a calf behind her. The calf somehow got scared or something and decided to run around the big cow and towards the rest of the herd behind me. The big cow trying to protect its calf immediately charged towards us. It was only 1 - 2 meters in front of us before charging and was way faster and more explosive than I imagined cows were. I jumped backwards as her head was ramming my hands pushing against her head (serious power). After 2 seconds the huge cow quickly turned and ran after its calf!
@mervynforsythe502 жыл бұрын
You were very lucky a cow protecting a calf will kill you, they weigh around 8 900 hundred kg and can run at 20+ on rough wet ground can you. Do not go into a field with animals you don't know , if you do always have an escape route. If you are walking a dog on farmland you must lift any poo as it can cause pregnant cows to abort and a dog chasing cows in calf can cause them to abort their calf and don't forget a farmer can legally shoot a dog chasing his animals.cows or sheep.Enjoy the countryside wisely.

Great video, and I am sure it will work most of the time. But yesterday we walked through a field of cows who started walking behind us. We walked calmly and quietly and tried to ignore them. At one point they all stopped, and we carried on towards edge of field, still walking and not speaking, and not making eye contact. Then we heard hooves - all of them, about 50 youngish Friesian cows, all charging us at full speed. At that point we ran. Made it to gate at end of field in nick of time. I think they would have trampled us. What else could we have done? (We had no dog, cows didnt have calves, just 2 of us)
