An adult cow will end up weiging around 700 kilos so you wouldn't want to get squashed by one  As a rule they are docile unless they feel threatened.
There's always an element of danger when dealing with animals and, while experience in handling them does help, unexpected things can happen so you should always have your wits about you even with animals you know well.
BTW if you go that way again and the animals are still a threat maybe you should let the farmer know before someone gets hurt. |
I am only that way when it comes around on my rota, so the chances are that they will be somewhere else when I next go. But like I said vicious killers these fighting cows.

Funny you should mention the brown one, it did run in our direction, but I was behind a wall by that time, but it did lurk around for a while
