Ian Kerr was also left with a hoof print on his hand after the animal knocked him down in the loading bay at Royal Mail’s delivery office in Stirling.


A postman suffered cracked ribs and severe bruising after he was stamped on by a cow.

Ian Kerr, 57, was also left with a hoof print on his hand after the animal knocked him down in the loading bay at Royal Mail’s delivery office in Stirling.


The Simmental cow and her calf had escaped from Caledonian Marts, about a mile away.

Recalling the attack on Monday, Ian said: “It came at me like a train. I will never forget its face and eyes – it looked angry.”

The grandad of five managed to struggle to his feet and escape into an office. Paramedics treated him at the scene before he was taken to hospital for further treatment.


Ian, of Cambusbarron, who has been a postie for 41 years, told our sister paper the Stirling Observer: “I’ve been bitten by dogs and even pecked by geese but never butted by a cow.”

Caledonian Marts staff eventually managed to catch the cow and calf after bringing in store cattle to help calm them down.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
