I stopped at the gate here and chatted and scratched a few noses but I would have been licked and slobbered all over if I had hung about. I still can't fathom cattle herds after a lifetime of walking through fields containing them. Some are docile and you can walk right through them with them barely raising their heads. Other herds gallop at you from a field away like the Charge of the Heavy Brigade. Sometimes their age and breed type don't seem to have any determining factor and I tend to treat all half-ton, rock hard, fast moving lumps of horn, muscle and bone with the respect that they deserve.
