Report Cattle on the loose?

WhatYaSay · 2014-07-13 00:23:10

I'm sure this is in the complete wrong forum, sorry. Just after putting 6/7 cattle out of the garden, wouldn't have a clue who owns them. Should I call the local garda station? I'd just be worried they'd make their way onto a nearby main road. Although they'll probably find another garden to graze on!

Yea, call the local station or any neighbour who has cattle. They're a danger on the roads at night and can cause serious accidents, never mind damaging other gardens.

the neighbour can spread the new around fast to other farmers in the area.

Yes contact Garda immediately - there is a very real risk of RTA. Do you know any local farmers? Contact them if you can as well - they should have a fair ideas whose they are if you can give decent description.

Generally it's best to keep them confined until you can contact someone, putting then out on the road is not a good idea tbh.

Good place to put this is Farming and Forestey Forum. Give approx location (via pm) you might strike it lucky

You'd want to be careful with cows.

I got attacked by a cow once and i managed to knock him out with a punch to the head. Next thing the rest of the herd stood up on their hind legs and started shooting milk at me from their tits.

Put them back into the field or yard, not much point in starting a thread of what to do when a real presence of a traffic collision with stray cows on the road.

You did the right thing OP. If a cow ever got the chance he'd eat you and everyone you care about.

What good are the Gardai if they're just going to come have a look? Ask a neighbour if they know any local farmers. They'll all know each other and someone will come get them.

Truly hate the trolls... Your going to keep cows on your property that you don't own? Hmm farmer who owns them shows up and says you stole them the proof is on your garden don't be so stupid.. Ring the guard or tell the local farmers they will know who owns cows in the local area they don't go far due to looking for fresh grass

Cows do attack, as much as bulls..
Especially when they've calves, they'd kill their farmer if given the chance to save the calf

If the cattle are still nearby, go out and read some of the ear tags - that will help track down the owner.
