My handbook for walkers states that a beef bull, if together with cows, may be placed in a field crossed by a footpath. However, a dairy bull accompanying cows must not be so placed. Why are beef bulls considered safe, while dairy ones are not? Do beef bulls understand that they should not attack walkers?
