Cows, or the lead cow at least, will sometime follow someone mistakenly hoping to be milked. Don't ever run because the farmer will be very unhappy if the cows running ruins the milk. Lesson learned in college.

He sounds like a wuss. . . . and so does his dog.

Angus cows are reasonable, if you tell them not to eat that [insert name of anything you wouldn't possible think they'd mistake for edible here ] they will eventually stop when they think you're serious.* But I've had a Hereford Bull run at me. I was a wuss! He thought I had goodies in a paint bucket, so I gave him the bucket, then he was pissed the I must've taken the goodies for myself!!

No reasoning with him!

*I'm confident they never make a connection between throwing a fit and what they are doing. They just think, "Here I am chewing on this garden hose dessert I managed to snag through the fence, but hey! That guy over there is really loud and waving arms! Well, better not stay here. I'll take my new hose-treat with me.

I worked one summer on a dairy farm, then another summer on a cattle ranch. And you're right, those Angus will eat ANYthing. My method was to walk right up to them and snatch it away before they knew what I was about.

The Holsteins generally were crankier than the Aberdeen-Angus, but they were also very cowardly. The owner's little daughter was afraid of them until I showed her how to give them the eye and say "BOO!" They part like the Red Sea and you just stroll on through.

I missed the "controlling rampaging bovine" class in evil school.
Honest.

That's almost certainly the case. I've never heard of cows going after a human before.

Cow do not like dogs, especially if they have calves with them, at least in open range around here where there are coyotes.

If one starts bellowing the others will come from quite a distance and surround you. They are very aggressive and they aren't looking for food.

One cow I can handle. Fifteen or twenty can be very intimidating. That's a lot of beef
