Farmers have expressed disappointment and concern at a legal ruling in favour of a walker hurt when she was attacked by cows as she crossed a field.

Shirlie McKaskie was seriously hurt in Cumbria in 2003 and a judge has ruled the farmer was liable because he had not properly considered the risk.

Ms McKaskie is claiming £1m damages but farmer John Cameron is appealing.
