Michael Holmes’s wife, Teresa, who was injured in the incident, says it happened on a regular pandemic stroll
A man died after being trampled by cows during a pandemic walk he had done many times before with his wife, an inquest has heard.
They had started taking daily walks together while both were working from home during the pandemic and this was one of their regular routes, which usually took half an hour, she said.The inquest heard they entered a field at JA Mitchell & sons’ farm, and followed a public footpath up a steep hill, unaware that several dozen cows with calves were at the top of the slope.
She told the inquest she has no recollection of the incident, which she said “is a good thing really, considering what happened”. “I feel there should be some signage there that says, ‘There are cattle with calves.’ Had that been the case, we would definitely not have entered.”
