How should you behave if a bull runs at you?

I've heard you should run up somewhere or climb a tree. But what should you do if you're attacked on a flat pasture/mountain meadow? Run away? Yell at the bull? Or should you just walk back and keep an eye on the bull? And what about defense? Is it good or bad to hit a bull with a stick? Will it just make it angry or scare it away? Thanks in advance for your answers 🙂

animals never stand unbound on grazing. in the rule are those on the chain.

If you see anything else, stay away from cattle. it doesn't matter if you look cheeky or bully. Stay away.

In the case of mother cows, as a rule, bulls are already in the herd, but rather in fenced pastures, and there has no outside standing lost what…

Otherwise I agree.

Have you seen too many wild west movies?

No, seriously.

There were already cases where walkers of cows (female cattle) were seriously injured or killed – but these are regrettable individual cases…

Most of the dogs were involved, against which the cows wanted to defend their calves.

A free-running bull is likely to be found on non-eyed pastures or pastures rather rarely.

In addition, in the corresponding areas, ie, R. Shields are set up with rules of conduct…

On a fenced pasture you have lost nothing – except the cattle belong to you and then it is your own risk.

So eyes on walking, keep the appropriate distance to herds and dogs on the leash…

No cow in the world will attack you from a distance without reason and without need – not even a caffer buffalo in Africa!

I am myself on a mountain pasture every year and am a recognized member there. So I also help to drive the cows from the pasture.

I had such a case, we had already driven the herd together and had to wait until we could open the fence. But since they weren't ready in the stables, we had to wait a long time.

The bull became impatient and moved away from the herd. When he turned around, he saw us standing behind the cows waiting. He didn't like that, so he started to run on us with a lower forehead. We walked backwards with his face. Meanwhile we fixed him. After having had a nice distance, he also stopped.

So I just think of looking at him and going backwards from the pasture. No hectic. If he was going to run on you, I wouldn't rush and run away. However, this is so good to avoid. Leave dogs off the leash.

Hope could help:)

No farmer will put a bull on an accessible pasture or pasture. However, those who voluntarily embark on a fenced pasture, which is obviously locked up and on which a bull is located, commits a possession disorder and then it does not deserve otherwise to be expelled from the bull.

But here for all city children and flatland Indians as one behaves on a cow pasture/alm.

I see this quite differently, because even mother cows can get to you like a bull if they see themselves and their young people threatened. And believe me, you don't want to meet such an angry mother cow. There were already enough dead on pastures and there was not even a bull.

So it's not a topic failure, you just have to understand what you're revealing as an answer, because a cow, whether male or female, remains a cow at the end and behaves when it's angry, no different.

If you have a (strong) stick, you can hit the bull as hard as you can hit the nose and then run away. You can also throw your backpack (if you have one) on the animal, at least it will stop it.

If there is a fence – almost rueber, tree is also good.

Best of all: make a large bow around the stove.

Hahah, hey was good! Hit the bull with a stick on the nose! I'll throw myself away!

Cattles have a sensitive nose. So I think the tip was meant seriously.

I don't doubt that. Seriously, the tip was quite sure. However, he tests that Steffile has only very little idea of ​​stallions.

Yes, he was meant to be safe, but to hit the nose of an attacking bull in the jealousy of the battle would be like a six in the lottery…

I've experienced how a cop ripped the nose ring across the nasal wall as if he had no nerves and he wasn't even excited yet.

On Youtube and other video platforms you will find many examples of what you should not do.

You can learn something about that.

Climbing on a tree helps, but you need time to climb and could be crushed on the tree. If you have no tree or similar, it is best to avoid, similar to bullfighters and rodeo clowns. Such a bull is quite heavy, which is why he cannot change the direction as easily as a comparatively light person. Look at the videos of rodeo clowns, they're doing it right. You just have to catch the right moment to avoid.

A tree would help. Bulls can't climb. Running upwards also helps as bulls cannot see well upwards.

The best thing is to keep you away from stinging.

If he knows you're up there, but depending on the tree, he can bend over the part.

If the bull is so far up that you could reach him with a stick, you'll be under his claws in the next 1/100th second.

Be happy when a bull attacks you. He fixes you, takes measure and then lowers your head and runs and you can soak in peace.

It's much worse if you're wearing a hair or a mother cow. She fixes you, keeps your head up and no matter where you run, she comes after you like a cruise missile. Then it's just the question who's on the fence and good luck.

I can only imagine a rescue: run faster than the bull.

You can't be there, you didn't lose anything there.

If it were your cattle, you should know how to behave cattle.
