Grazing animals + dog = danger!
Basically, the grazing cattle found on our pastures are good-natured and peaceful. However, encounters with dogs can disturb grazing cattle and awaken natural protective instincts. There are sometimes dangerous situations for hikers, especially where cows are grazing together with their calves. So-called "cow attacks" are statistically very rare and by observing the relevant information posts, the risk of an attack is significantly reduced.
