At it again I see. I still maintain that they aren't dangerous provided you keep aware of them and don't do anything stupid (like getting in between calves and mothers). I always have a ready exit strategy just in case but these days I rarely have to use it having got much better at anticipating them. The only problem comes when they're crowding a gateway, in which case I would hop in to the next field if necessary and avoid them that way. I also wouldn't take a young child or someone incapable of moving away quickly in to a field with them if it felt wrong. They're big animals but generally fairly tame.
