If there is a right of way over farmland stick to the path that is the right of way - you have right of way to cross the land not the right of access to do as you seem fit.

Which is exactly what we did. Very close to a local beauty spot and where a lot of families go with their children. I am lucky enough to live near it but there are plenty of people from the surrounding cities who visit and may not be as wise to the potential dangers of young boisterous animals. I dread to think what could have happened if the bullocks had trampled a child.

You demonstrate the ability to quote your rights but refuse to accept that those rights come with attendant obligations and responsibilities.

That applies to everyone. Including the farmer who has the right to graze his animals but also has the obligation to keep the right of way clear and free from danger.
