Bullocks are a danger, I would say as dangerous as cows with calves. They are boisterous and curious and, unlike dairy cows are not used to a lot of human handling. At least this is what my farmer cousin tells me.
When AC were small we were walking, on a footpath through a field that, thankfully, hugged the fence. A herd of bullocks galloped up to inspect us and were beginning to jostle us. Thankfully the field boundary was barbed wire with a dry ditch beyond . I told children to get under the fence and into the ditch fast and I followed them pdq.
My cousin told me I had done the right thing.
