Farmers turning out cattle this spring are being warned to think twice before putting cows and calves in fields with public footpaths.
It follows a spate of incidents involving walkers with dogs being attacked by cows protecting their offspring – a risk expected to rise as visitors to the countryside increase as coronavirus restrictions are eased.
Richard Stockdale, who farms in the Yorkshire Dales, said he had already stopped keeping cows and calves in fields with public access.
At least three people have been killed by cows while walking in the countryside since last summer.
