The mouse is having going to have a feast of Kitkat and not cheese
placed on the Little Nipper.

Who the hell is **** scared of a mouse?

"Adam, It's running it's running" and then he ran past me.

He's not very good with animals.

He was surprised that my cat can sleep on my bed and not **** on the bed.

He would not get out of the van when we were working with the race horses[1]

He will not go into a house with dogs.

He has never worked on the farms I have worked at. Cows and sheep will
probably kill him.

[1] Three of them. One tries to bite you, one tries to kick you and the
last one tries to mount you. I had to run into one of the three fields
to fix the electric fence. As I climbed over the fence the other
apprentice shouted "If it's the one that want's a shag then take one for
the team and I'll put it in YouTube"

They dont even bite.

Strangely sheep can be nasty too. I have been attacked a couple of
times in the Pentlands (admittedly by rams 'protecting' their 'harems').
If you startle them (bikes don't make human noises so any noise they
make the sheep just tend to filter out. Then suddenly they see you and
are startled, before they work out you are a human (not the quickest
witted of animals yer sheep) and they should be scared, they attack you.

Where are you getting that number from ?

And how do you know they were being nasty when that happened ?

I'll rephrase that and say that the effects of being squashed by one can be right nasty. They may not have malevolent personalities but they can be very inquisitive and they are rather heavy.

Cows are not nasty.


Depends upon the breed. I would not worry too much about Herefords or
Aberdeen Angus, unless they had young or there was a dog around. I would
avoid Limousin or Charolais at any time. British breeds are generally
much better acclimatised to human contact than continental breeds and
dairy cattle are usually safer than beef cattle. Nevertheless, cows can
and do kill people.

I've not seen a detailed explanation but I would suspect the majority of
injuries/deaths is due to falling over while running away from a herd.
Cattle at the front can see and would normally swerve away. Cattle at
the back keep going and trample unintentionally.

Animals protecting calves is rather different.

Broken down by various factors, dogs and calves are significant, but the
biggest risk is being over 50

I thought there was a move to using apprentice sparks in place of lab
mice these days since they are more plentiful, there is less chance of
getting emotionally attached to them, and also there are something mice
just won't do. ;-)

The trouble is that you don't know the population at risk. Most of the
ramblers and other walkers I know are in the 60+ age-group. I appreciate
that 20 year olds may be faster on their feet, but the real reason they
may not feature in the statistics is that they may be down at the pub,
rather than in the field with the cattle.

If that was a blue-tongue, they will if they feel threatened and you try
to pick it up. But mostly they'll just give a threat display and try to
avoid you.

I always understood it was Dairy Cattle who could be the more lairy,
certainly our Devon Reds always seemed more gentler than the Freiseins
that came along later.
Where public footpaths cross fields it is the Bulls of dairy breeds
like Freisians, Holsteins and those sweet looking Jerseys and
Guernseys that are prohibited to be in them, Beef breeds though they
may be much larger are allowed if there are accompanying Cows, though
if the animal has a history of being aggresive it should not be and
could influence any action if someone was hurt.

A lot of attacks are because the cow sees a dog as a threat to its
young, its instinct. If a walker has a dog on a lead some
unfortunately try and protect their Pet . In reality if things have
got to that stage its best to let the dog go and hopefully the Cow
will follow the dog, the dog unless it's old and ill will stand a far
better chance of getting away than a Human most of whom won't be able
to outrun a cow.

Interesting. I used to walk for exercise about 3Km thru property with beef
cattle,
with the owner being happy for me to do that. I was always careful to not
back
them in to a corner etc and never took a dog with me. Never had even a hint
of
a problem.

The place has just changed owner and the manager just warned me off last
time,
And that lot of cattle did have lots of quite new calves. Didn’t have any
problem
with them either, but wont be going back there now that the new manager
doesn’t
allow it.

Townies know nothing.
If you go near a herd of cows/calves with a dog,
you and the dog stand an excellent chance of being attacked.
They will knock you down and stick their horns in.
Or just trample you.
They are easily capable of killing you.
They can run faster than you too.

Interesting. Thanks for that. Bit more detail on the footpaths issue
would have been nice.

Current advice is if approached by cattle, let the dog go free. The NFU
are nervous about detailed advice as it may be thought to lead to an
admission of some sort.

Cattle are curious and may simply hope that the visitor has brought food
or is going to open a gate to fresh pasture etc. Running invites them to
follow...

I'm going by what a vet told me, while she was batting Highland cattle
out of our way on a footpath, many years ago. She told me that, because
they have to be milked, dairy cows are more familiar with human contact
and are, therefore, less wary of humans. Also, over the centuries,
British cattle have been bred to be more docile than most of the
continental breeds.

I heard a (possibly apocryphal) tale of a man who had his car written
off by a cow... He slowly following a herd being walked down a country
lane for milking. One large old dear decided to take umbridge and sat on

Citroen C5 was written off after a cow leaped three feet over a fence and crashed into the bonnet, breaking a wheel.

Cows with calves need to be given a wide berth,
especially if you have a dog.

Limousin cows and cattle are notably exiteable,
while most other dairy cows will walk away if you
approach them.

Young heifers will approach you with interest, en masse and often at
speed, and can be intimidating, but will back away if you face them
and walk towards them. Happened to me on several occasions.

Never happened to me.

You just have to keep your nerve! On one occasion after shooing them
away, I noticed one of them was much larger than the rest, a big black
beastie, with a significantly different appendage underneath! He was
perfectly docile and ignored me completely, and wandered away with the
rest of them. (An Aberdeen Angus bull as it happened, one of these
