Livestock Even good-tempered animals can become dangerous. For example, a toddler could be knocked down and trampled by cattle that would hardly notice the child's presence. Even the quietest animals can become dangerous if they feel threatened, particularly if they have their young with them. Know where children are at all times. However, simply making a farm safe for adults is not enough.
Children are extremely curious, but lack adult judgement.
They also may be small enough to get past protective barriers and shields that would stop most grown-ups. Dangerous equipment, materials should be inaccessible Anything children might use to harm themselves or others should always be kept out of reach. Guns and pesticides are obvious examples. This is difficult on a modern farm, since both parents often have to join in the work. However, young children must be supervised.
