Calving cows more dangerous than bulls

Herd owners with cows due to calve will be worried about hygiene, calving difficulties, colostrum for calves, disease outbreaks etc.

It is ingrained into the farmer’s mentality to look after stock, even if it endangers them.

Farmers have cared for and nourished the animals in their herds, and in many situations, they will disregard their own safety when trying to aid cows and young calves.
