Figures reveal that attacks by cows are by no means unusual. According to data released by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), there have been 67 incidents in the past five years (up to 2009) in which a member of the public has reported being injured by cattle. In six of the cases the person was killed.

The risk is even greater for farm workers whose injuries are recorded separately. Over the same period there were 23 fatal incidents involving farmers and their employees, another 300 that resulted in "major" harm and 277 in which the injury took more than three days to heal. Far more go unreported.
