Spotted by James Higham and Julia M at the BBC:
A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said the force had been called to a report of a man in his 50s being injured by cows in a field north of Richmond.
He was treated by paramedics, but sadly he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Very sparse on detail. There's no mention of a dog or young calves, but that doesn't mean they weren't there, and we aren't told how many cows* were seen attacking him, or indeed why he was in the field.
* Please, no jokes involving 'five'.
Update - AK Haart in the comments points out that he was walking his dogs.
Thought so.

We first came across this one in the Yorkshire Post which says he was out with his dogs.

AKH, thanks, I have updated.
Looks like they managed to kill the dog too. Vicious.
B, cows v dogs, interesting battle. It's mass and brute force v agility and sharp teeth.
Perhaps this shows that, with a school teacher walking with a dog in a field of cows, there can still be a large gap between education and intelligence.
PS, you shouldn't speak ill of the dead. But yes, agreed.
