Cows stood at the gate? Want to give them a scratch?
Always reach over the gate never through it, if they lift their heads suddenly they can break your arm.
Enjoy the countryside and stay safe you freaky fabsters. ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

Good advice.. Also cows can run very fast and you can easily get trampled on. If unsure don't walk through fields with cows in them especially if your walking your dog. |

A number of people are killed each year by cows apparently. |

Useful advice.
If you're ever threatened by an angry goose bend your elbow and wrist to make a goose like shape and point it at the offended bird. |

"Don't pee on an electric fence."
This is wise advice. I would also counsel against licking one.
Another useful piece of country lore is never put a dead wasp on the end of your nose just because your brother dares you. |

"I’ve been chased across a field by a herd of cows. It’s scary and they run fast for big uns don’t trust a cow! "
People are killed by cows because they don't know how to act in their presence.
If they come over to you in a field it's because they're being nosey, they're never aggressive (unless you're walking a dog when they have youngsters with them - best avoided). If they're making you nervous don't run, walk away at a normal pace. If they follow turn and confront them and wave your arms, clap, shout etc. Don't be fooled into thinking you're faster than them either in reaction time or running. They are surprisingly nimble, can run at 40mph and weigh the same as a small car. I've been hit by one at full gallop and, trust me, it hurts.
If a bull is in a field on it's own it will see you as challenging it's territory and will likely attack - avoid at all costs. If a bull is with a herd of cows it will likely be too distracted to bother with you - proceed with caution.
Have fun. ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

Great advice! I no longer walk in fields with cows. I certainly don’t run ... I have a pelvic floor and breasts to consider ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

Haha, i don't have either but i know i still could never outrun one.
Cows cause problems because they're misunderstood. Being prey animals they're essentially fear based and their curiosity is continually in conflict with this. If you follow the aforementioned tips (appearing to be aggressive yourself) you'll be perfectly safe. ![](/icons/thumb_up.png) |

But on the plus side, you'll be able to reach that awkward spot on your back that's tricky to itch ![](/icons/s/eek.gif) |

"Why would you want to scratch a cow?
Because they're cute. "
Yeah real cute hung from their hooves with their throat cut and their disembowel innards railing on the floor....
I'm sure the last thing that goes through their mind was that bloke who scratched their ear ........

I'm always respectful of cows - or any other animal - but admit I'm batty enough to have sometimes stopped the car to scratch/stroke or to simply have a good look at them if they're leaning over a fence ![](/icons/s/redface.gif) |

That's an interesting perspective. For me this is just part of the natural order, such animals exist for one sole purpose. However, this does not mean that they shouldn't be treated with kindness and respect during their lives. |

This is not a thread about the ethics of eating animals. I suggest you start one of your own. I love cows and i love beef and i have no problem with that.
No I'll not bother ...... I'll refrain from trying to spread a little humour in your threads as it obviously goes right over your head
It was meant to be funny?
Obviously not to people with overly precious sensibilities..
Personally i'm glad that i don't find that kind of 'humour' appealling.
Well you'd be an expert on that matter
I would point to the word 'personally'.
I'll tell you what....
Your responses are becoming increasingly clumsy so I'll leave you to your thread and allow you to exert control over content of your thread as I obvious you not able to do that with me...
Thanks. In future try to put a bit more thought and effort into your 'wit' as it's clearly fallen short of the mark in this instance.

"Why would you want to scratch a cow?
Because they're cute.
Yeah real cute hung from their hooves with their throat cut and their disembowel innards railing on the floor....
I'm sure the last thing that goes through their mind was that bloke who scratched their ear ........

We had a few geese on a farm i once worked at when i was a teenager. The gander was forever chasing me across the yard. Apparently they make better guard dogs than actual guard dogs. ![](/icons/s/eek.gif) |

I've heard this too.
In reference to an earlier post about walking next to a wall so you can jump over it because cows can't jump. Actually they can though it's very rare, i've only ever witnessed it once when one of our cows jumped over a barbed wire fence. She had to be stiched up afterwards.
This does remind me of a youtube video i saw a while ago of a young lady in Germany who'd taught her favourite heifer to showjump would you believe? It was quite a sight. |

We used to have geese when I was a kid and teenager. Mum and I had to run the gauntlet of stroppy geese and gander just to hang the washing out. I don't know why we bothered because the damn goats would eat it if we didn't put the prop up high enough ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

Some distilleries in Scotland use them to guard premises plus over 30 years ago, Bells Whisky used geese to guard their Distribution warehouses as they were better than guard dogs, made one hell of a racket when disturbed andmore efficient too. |

C'est moi Boudoir |
I remember getting to Ireland as a child and being so excited as we had a field full of pet cows next door. My first few weeks in the country was like a bloody marathon! I was chased by cow's, bullock's, goats, geese, and a pig! I learned eventually to stay on my side of the fence or be able to clear that fence lively.
The field full of bullock's next door were the nosiest animals ever. We eventually became friends as I loved singing despite my lack of talent, they were an avid audience. I would go to the fence and sing the first line and they would come charging up to me. Very therapeutic but stay on the right side of the fence is my advice.

What’s the advice around Highland Cattle which have been let out of a field on the opposite side of the road on a blind bend. They’re big and they do not respect or fear cars. I know this because they surrounded me yesterday. The size of their horns ![](/icons/s/eek.gif) |

"Are cows cheeky?"
Yes. In order to achieve the most efficient use of pasture we would strip graze using portable electric fencing. We had one cow that discovered the plastic fence posts were insulated and didn't give a shock. She would push the posts over with her nose which earthed out the fence on the grass rendering it useless. The rest of the herd were then free to run amok over the entire field ruining the rest of the grass.
Needless to say she was soon sold on to become someone else's problem.

An old arthritic bull with feet the size of dinner plates once pulled a halter out of my hands and clearned a netting and barbed wire fence from a standing start, just to get to his harem. Oh yes the buggers can jump alright. |

I think they're a lot smarter than people give them credit for. We had one young cow that would always walk at the back of the herd on the wy to the parlour. She would refuse to move and look at me expectantly until i'd given a damn good scratch. ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |
