Subject: RE: BS: Bullocks!
Well gnome, why on earth would I want to say anything on this thread.You are publicising your stupidity all on your ownsome. Most entertaining!

"From 2006 to 2011 the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) reported 56 cases in which members of the public were injured by cattle – eight of these incidents were fatal. Although there is a specific law which controls the keeping of bulls in fields with public access to them, this doesn't apply to cows and bullocks which can also sometimes behave aggressively.

Section 59 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 bans the keeping of bulls in fields crossed by a right of way, unless they are under the age of 10 months or not of a recognised dairy breed, provided they're accompanied by cows or heifers (young female cows). Recognised dairy breeds are Ayrshire, British Friesian, British Holstein, Dairy Shorthorn, Guernsey, Jersey and Kerry."
