Depends where the cattle come from, out back cattle in Australia are very dangerous, particularly if they have a calf at foot.

There is an old Aussie yarn where a city regulatory officer arrived at a farm and demand that he be allowed to go into the paddock.

The farmer told him he could not go into the paddock . The Officer produced is badge and said this badge gives me the power to go anywhere. Fifteen minutes later the Officer is running flat out with a large Brahamm Bull hot on his heals and gaining rapidly.

The Officer screams at the farmer stop that bull.

The farmer with a sly grin on his face said show the bull your badge!
