Putting a bull in a feild with a public footpath isnt very sportsperson like

[DyslexicScientist]

I spend time planning a circular route so that my walks are interesting. 90% of the way through there is a feild with a bull, there is a sign up saying "caution bull in field", well thanks!

I'm going to try to do it but it is annoying. Its bad enough a field of cows who start to run towards you, that scares me shirtless.

If you don't hear from me again

If it's going to be on TV the OP will have to keep her shirt on though.

Don't go near it if it is a Limousin bull.

When i was in primary school one of my friend's dad was killed when a cow kicked him in the head.

We've only had this once, trying to find a geocache the footpath went through a field, there was a massive bull in there. I'd have taken my chances and just hoped I could run faster than the children but they weren't keen so we had to turn back.

If you're going to frolic in a field with a bull, don't wear red and make sure you're wearing running shoes.

Cows will Attack, normally only if they have calves. Dogs are often a trigger. I do know someone who was nearly killed though and she didn't have a dog. She was in ICU for weeks and week, broke loads of bones, collapsed lungs, spleen I jury, etc.

Yeah I would watch that sparkling

What's the difference between dairy bulls and beef bulls?

I am surprised they are outside this time of year.

TV programme would definitely not be shirtless. I don't think I have ever been scared shirtless TBH.

Dairy bulls are fucking evil.

""What's the difference between dairy bulls and beef bulls?""

Beef Bulls are castrated, Dairy aren't and so are more aggressive/territorial.

I am really scared of cows. I don't mind bulls but cows.. They have evil eyes. I just.. I can't do cows.

This thread had not alleviated my fear.

dairy bulls are full of testosterone and can be agressive. and frightfully muscular.
beef bulls are mainly interested in eating, are rounder and would usually just stare at you whilst you are crossing the field.

It can't be a bull of its been castrated surely?

Thanks, Birds and Veg.

bulls are just male cattle.
a steer is un-castrated.
beef bulls are castrated because they are so much safer to handle and also put on weight more quickly.

So no word like 'gelding' for cows?

a castrated male is a bullock surely.

Beef Bulls are not castrated that is why they are called bulls

Some beef bulls must have their balls... otherwise beef breeds would die out pretty soon surely? :o

T'other way about surely? Steers are castrated, bulls are entire.

I never had a lot to do with the cattle on the farm but the beef bull wasn't castrated.....his purpose in life was to get the cattle pregnant.

A bull is by definition uncastrated.

A bullock is a castrated male - being raised for beef.

If there were no beef bulls then there'd be noone to give the beef cows a little loving and get them pregnant.

Dairy cows are usually artifically inseminated by bulls kept separately.
Beef herds usually have a bull to do his duty naturally.

T'other way about surely? Steers are castrated, bulls are entire.

of course, got them mixed up. so beef bulls are (usually) steers.
