    When riding a bike always keep a safe distance from the cow in front.

    Farmer cannot allow cattle to 'roam freely'. Are you sure that they are doing this, and that they are not being brought/driven/led from one part of her land to another?

    Is this a public road, or a private road wit a right of way to you?

    Are the cattle running free, or are they in the charge of someone?

    Were you cycling too fast? You too have a responsibility, but I fear that farmer bears the higher responsibility IF it is a public road.

    It used to be common practice to graze the verges of public roads which was called the long acre, but that was many decades ago when cars were pretty rare. Nowadays if they are left on the roads by themselves I'd imagine it would be illegal.

    i thought but may be mistaken that there were parts in connemara that while they were not legally allowed on the road that there was some technicality or something which meant it couldnt be enforced.
    sorry if thats described badly.
