As per the UK Highways Traffic Sign Manual Chapter 4 - Warning Signs page: 52 The following advice is given:

9.2.1.  The cattle sign to diagram 548 (S14‑2‑41, see Figure 9-1) will generally provide sufficient warning of cattle crossings. However, at sites with restricted visibility or where heavy traffic flows make it difficult to herd cattle across the road, the sign to diagram 4005 (S14-2-25, see Figure 9-2) (which comprises flashing amber lights and the sign to diagram 548) may be used. 9.2.2.  A warning sign and plate to diagram 548.1A (S14‑2‑41, see Figure 9-3) must be used in advance of a cattle crossing where flashing lamps are used.
