Can bulls be kept in a field with a public right of way through?
Yes, if the bull is under 10 months old. Bulls not of a recognised dairy breed and with cows can legally be kept in a field with a public right of way through it.

There is a dangerous horse, or other animal in the field with a public right of way through it - can something be done?
A prosecution can be brought against a farmer when they knowingly place a dangerous animal in a field with a public right of way. Please report any incidents to us by completing the service request form.
