Hello Hound (was your Mum an Elvis Presley freak?
)
I must say that they always look pretty docile to me
but those horns do look intimidating and, as mentioned, seeing them battling with each other (not too energetically, I have to admit) makes you wonder!
I'll be quiet when I walk by them!
Sheffield Wildlife Trust has introduced them to one of our local moors in an attempt to keep the bracken at bay. Quite a few locals have objected on the grounds that they now have to keep their dogs leashed ....
Not quite sure whether this is because they're worried about the cattle attacking the dogs or
vice versa ......
QUOTE=H Dogg;2143]Highland cattle are generally more placid than other cattle and tend to be alot more shy and gentle despite there look's. However as with most animals you will get the odd exception. There are several herds near me i often have to walk by, the only time on has every acted oddly was when i was taking photo's in an area of meadow by the field the noise of my camera seemed to freak them out causing one to go abit crazy jumping around.[/quote]
