Roger Jones suffered broken ribs, cuts to his face and a shoulder injury in the incident in Thorndon, near Eye, yesterday .
The farmer was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital by the East Anglian Air Ambulance and was last night said to be in a stable condition.
A spokesman for the hospital said: 'He has some fractured ribs and facial lacerations. He is likely to be with us for a few days.'
The East of England Ambulance Service was called to Thorndon Hill Farm at around 2.45pm to a report that a man in his 70s had been trampled by cattle in a field.
A land ambulance was sent to the scene, but medics opted to transfer Mr Jones to hospital in an air ambulance.
