Jericho, Morag and Daisy grazing heather L7, Bambi and Crumple in undergrowth browsing gorse M7. All looked fine.
Last week, one evening about twilight, I met some dog walkers who said the cows by the F7 cattle grid were a bit aggressive, especially the bull. However, when I asked for more information about the "bull" they did not know what colour it was. Should we be doing a bit more public information? I was thinking we could have a poster with their pictures and names (and brief biography?) I would be willing to produce something if you think this would be helpful.

Hello sue,
ReplyDeleteI like the idea about giving mOre information about the cattle but we have to be careful not to over complicate things. Ideally people and dogs will admire and respect the livestock from a distance. This way no problems will occur. It is only when people and dogs do not respect this distance that incidents occur. We have signs up everywhere informing people of the dangers of the livestock to themselves and theirs dogs but some pele just ignore it. I fear that these same people will ignore whatever else we take the time to write so it would be in vain.
What do other people think?
It is a good idea but I also agree with Elliott. In my view whatever we do is not enough as there are some people (and it is the minority) that just don't like the cattle there so will make life difficult.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if people think the cows with horns are bulls they'll keep their dogs and themselves were nessescery at a bit more of a distance,as it is definately the dogs that put the cattle on edge,you can see threr change in mood when a dog is near.Ileave my dog at a safe distance when i want to get close ,as she is farely scared of them now after being told off about a yr ago.Mutual respect for sure is needed.maybe a sign just saying "danger bulls" is needed lol x
ReplyDeleteOn balance I think you are right, it is better not to give too much information so people have enough knowledge to keep away.
