Have you been and spoken and explained what the risks are to the cattle? Ask them to make sure it doesn't drift onto your land.

Sometimes just explaining and asking is all it takes.
Had it out with them last year over stuff being thrown into field. The weed killer he had sprayed on his bank had came up then. ‘He didn’t know it could harm cattle’ 🙄 but yet this year he sprays the field … cattle aren’t out yet but he has still damaged the grazing.

They shouldn't be throwing crap over the fence and they shouldn't be spraying your field but they can spray their own property. Perhaps a higher fence might help, depending on any restriction as to how high you can go?

Can you post the pictures you have to show the damage to your property?

Tried that last year. Whole shouting match with her in doors. Called me names etc. haven’t spoken to them since!
Always record any conversation, keep yourself calm just state facts and let them rant remind them that a dispute with a neighbour will make selling their house difficult and while it may cost a few quid with evidence of their shouting etc serve an injunction on them .
