I love cows but am very wary of them having had a lot of experiences with them running at me! They are so inquisitive.You've heard of the horse whisperer. Let me introduce you to the cow whisperer

Britain's most dangerous animal after humans
Although a rise in large poorly raised dogs is threatening their top spot
My top tips: give them plenty of space, don't rush, and don't look at them in the eyes until you've passed.

And if they run at you, stand still, face them and wave your arms.

Yep, I tend to give them a wide berth until there is a solid wall or gate between me and them!
Another good tip is never go between them and a calf, that can escalate their interaction with you pretty quickly.
Cattle related deaths and serious injury are a real if infrequent thing just need a bit of common sense around them. Never used to bother me, I came in to contact with farm animals a lot growing up and would walk among a dairy herd and across fields of bullocks pretty much without fear. I think like my cycling, awareness of what can go wrong has made me more cautious as I’ve got older!
I don't ride in the enclosures here anymore after seeing a horde of the big mooing doggoes coming towards me at pace
