When did you last have to stop for herded animals

[LotusOmega375D]

It used to be a common occurrence when I was younger, but I hadn't encountered a herd of cattle or a flock of sheep on the road for years until this little lot appeared today.

Here they come...

[DanDC5]

Not a herd but had to stop for some dumbfk selfish allowing his dog to just wander in the middle of the road yesterday off the lead and then proceed to look at me like I was the dick.

A bunch of camels being driven by a man wearing a fez slowed me down earlier this year.........

[famfarrow]

Last week for me, a solitary farmer on a quadbike with a herd of cows. Before then however, must have been a few years.

Im guessing not but do fields paritioned by roads with farm animals crossing at will also count?

Every day at sunrise and sunset, a couple of hundred goats parade past the house on the way to and from the day's grazing. Woe betide anyone driving quickly around the Bulgarian countryside at that time of day, the livestock own the roads.

Do children at a school crossing count? Or general herds of commuters?

[Jw Vw]

Personally I have never had to stop for any herded animals.

[eldar]

About once a fortnight, plus the occasional escaped one. But where I live there are more sheep than people, and the sheep are marginally brighter.

[Pontoneer]

I live in rural Ayrshire , so quite regularly .

The sheep in North Wales like to rub themselves on the front numberplate mount of my Laguna so much that they set the alarm off. I have to park the front end against a wall now.

They're not herded up here, they just roam free on the common land.

Being English though, I can't even scare them away.

I was thinking about this the other day as it has been years since I las had to stop for a herd of sheep. Then on my way back from my girlfriends place yesterday there was a blooming great herd of cows crossing the road!

In dorset? Any time i time my journey wrong!

[Puddenchucker]

Typically once or twice a month. One of the back-roads I travel on goes past a dairy farm, so if the farmer is moving the herd to/from the field on the opposite side of the road to the milking shed, you sit and wait for a couple of minutes.

[YorkshirePudding]

Quite often as we live near to a dairy farm.

[John D.]

Wales about 5yrs ago. I didn't have to stop as hard as the Elise I was :ahem: pursuing

[DannyScene]

A 'hed' of oranged women folk sauntered into the middle of the road the other night in Leeds causing my mate to slam on and me lose my mcdonalds milkshake
Does that count?

Good to see some British farmers finally getting on their bikes and expanding into new markets, rather than bellyaching about how hard done by they are.

Next stop Korea, I presume for those bhes?
