Bull and cows in the field

This herd formed 'a flying wedge' and cantered from one field to the next as a walking group passed through. The bull was obviously a gentleman and just did his best to protect his girls, his impressive and graceful bulk was poetry in motion as he led his herd around the sloping pasture. A few waved arms and "oi"s kept them all at bay. We had no dogs. They had no calves. But walkers and cows rarely need to 'grind the gears' - on both sides discretion is the better part of valour and mutual respect should see all parties able to part on good terms with no loss of face either way.
