I'm trying really hard not to laugh....

Bulls maybe but I've honestly never seen a cow charging. My best friend grew up on a dairy farm and I spent weekends, summers after school etc on the farm with her and never had a problem.... maybe they were just particularly docile cows

Cows do charge to protect their young. A friend's mother in law suffered brain damage in a similar incident 20 years ago.

Charolais and limousin cattle are well known for being nasty bast ards..

Never give them an inch unless you know you can get there first...

Aren't they big obnoxious bastards?
(Hmmm, )

They taste good.

Bullocks are like teenage boys hanging round a street corner: bored, curious, and liable to be obstreperous. They can easily cause you harm, even accidentally out of high spirits, and as with the lads, high spirits can easily tip over into group aggression.

And a cow will definitely charge to protect her calf. You get out of the way fast in that case. The only time I've seen a farmer leap a fence to get out of the way was for a cow: he would stand in front of a bull to steer (sorry!) him into a field, but not in from of a mummy cow.

I noticed that the article suggested that he had been offered advice by

Cows do charge and I experienced about 200 charging str8 at me once. Led by a huge cow with massive horns

I just managed to run about 200 yards and dived str8 over a fence to avoid them. I think the Jack Russel dog may have spooked them even though he was on a lead.

It was a pretty scarey experience!
