Walking close to cows:
The incidents of people being
attacked by cattle are very rare, however following recent
incidents and press coverage, please see the advice below when
walking in fields with cattle in.
Please do not let the very low risk of cattle attacks put you off
enjoying the Lincolnshire Wolds countryside, villages and great
views.
There are a few Do’s and Don'ts to follow when walking in a field
with calves.
Do
Try not to get between cows and their calves.
Be prepared for cattle to react to your presence, especially if you
have a dog with you.
Move quickly and quietly, and if possible walk around them.
Keep your dog close and under proper control.
Don’t
Don't hang onto your dog. If you are threatened by animals - let it
go as the cow will chase after that.
Don't put yourself at risk. Find another way round the cows and
rejoin the footpath as soon as possible.
Don't panic! Most cows will stop before they reach you. If they
follow just walk on quietly.
Don't forget to report any problems to the highway authority.
