Walking confidently through fields of cows
Walking confidently through fields of cows
Animals can be scary, especially larger animals such as cows. Remember, they are just inquisitive and may be more scared than you!
Here are our tips when walking through a field of cows:
Before entering the field, identify your exits.
Go around the cows, not through them.
Don’t walk between a mum and her calves.
Keep quiet – don’t shout or scream.
If there is a dog in the field, allow it to leave before you enter the field.
If in doubt, discuss with your Supervisor.
