Horned Cattle - horned cattle

[John C]

Is there a law in existance that says in anyway shape or form that horned animals cannot be kept alongside non horned animals ?
I referr to cows and goats and I mean a law rather than advice.. This info is required to settle an arguement.

If there is, there is a lot of people breaking it

:p :p

Just a thought I do believe it is illegal to transport horned and non horned cattle so maybe this is where the confusion has arrisen

Thanks Ann.
I've got to know for sure before I can tell this particular person that she's wrong.
Have you got any idea where I could get a definitive answer ?

I've just read through the 'Welfare of Farmed Animals (England) Regulations 2000' which were made on 18th July 2000, and came into force on August 14th 2000.

Nowhere does it say that horned animals (including cattle and goats) should not be kept alongside non-horned stock.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ryan .
I hope you're right cuz I've just fired the first salvo on the strength of it.

Yes . Here it is .
A nice lady on another site posted a picture of her goats. They were mother and daughter , one polled and one horned.

Another lady, but this time a real 'horror' gave the other lady a right verbal lashing " Did she know that it was illegal to keep either horned goats or cattle together ? "
She was really nasty to the woman and thanks to the info from here I have been able to redress the balance. Thanks folks

:D I didn't mean to quote myself but you get my drift
