     We mostly walk the public footpaths. Farmers are not supposed to have dangerous animals on these paths. But we did once encounter a bull on the path, and have been attacked by horses who wanted our food! Cows, while docile, are curious beasts and must investigate what they see as a trespasser. As a crowd as they close around you they can be scary and potentially dangerous. The thing is not to acknowledge them. But then how to get the photos?

       Lol! Maybe they would like their photos taken too.

     I do love cattle. But they’re heavy beasts if you get trapped amongst them!

   Well… there is no ring in his nose which may falsely lead me to think I should not fear him… then again, he is looking straight at me and maybe it’s just a warning I should heed!

     It’s a female. A mother with her calf. Now, might that be a tad dangerous?

       Stoopid me. I didn’t look closely! It might definitely be a tad more dangerous!

       There were a dozen or so cows in that field, three with calves. There might have been some bullocks but I wasn’t looking that closely.

   I recall coming unexpectedly face to face with a cow in a Vermont state park so many years ago. I’m not sure which of us was the more surprised.

     I grew up with cows, they shouldn’t bother me. And I would far prefer a herd of cows than I would horses (yes, I am the disgrace of my family).
