Checked today at 2.30. Found all four in the trees at E15. They were being "worried" by a dog which barked and ran around them. The three boys started to run away but Lola moved in and chased the dog off. Good mum! Watched them for 10 minutes and they settled down and ended up grazing on the grass along the path at F14. The dog owner rescued the dog and put it on a lead. I explained that there were new young bullocks in the group and was assured that the dog would be on lead in future.
Checked trough - all OK

Incident
It's all good intel and evidence when taking action to the next step should we ever need to. Patterns in dog walking are key to catching them.
Thanks again.
Just a mute point really but a point I must make nonetheless.
ReplyDeletethe boys are not in fact Bullocks, but are classified as steers. This means they have been castrated. Whilst this appears to be splitting hairs it is important as to have bullocks on a site such as this would not be suitable due to the testosterone build up in them and the implications this could have on their behaviour. As they have been castrated their hormone levels have been temepered which leads them to be safer more predictable animals, so suitable for this site,
