NEWS UPDATE: A new team member is joining us
As part of our ongoing breeding programme for the Highland Cattle herd, as of Tuesday 19th August we will be adding a Highland Bull to the herd for a couple of months.
Please continue to follow our guidance on walking in areas with livestock.
Here are some simple tips to follow to ensure your safety:
Stop, look and listen on entering a field. Look out for any animals and watch how they are behaving, particularly bulls or cows with calves
Try to avoid getting between cows and their calves
Be prepared for cattle to react to your presence, especially if you have a dog with you
Move quickly and quietly, and if possible walk around the herd
Keep your dog close, on a short lead, and under effective control
Remember to close gates behind you when walking through fields containing livestock
Report any frightening incidents or attacks to the Ranger
