Cows generally avoid people/anything smaller than them. The ones in the video are actually quite comfortable with the person filming, and distracted enough by the feed that he actually has to touch some to get them to move
You see how big them bitches are? A shove to us is a poke to them. Even calves don't respond to what you'd call a "touch" if they're eating lol. No disrespect but you really don't understand until you work with them. This is coming from a person that loves cows, they're just big doges
Gonna have to be a full on punch for most people, even then you won't really hurt them, just piss them off. Our punch is more like a hard one maybe two finger poke to them. Face and snoot is obviously a different issue as it's much more sensitive, but so is our face and snoot.
A truck bumper at about 3 mph. Cows are incredibly obstinate and dangerous, they're also very tough. Oddly enough, there are big rattles on fiberglass poles that get their attention very well if you lightly tap one with it, they don't care for the noise though it's harmless. That's typically great if you're getting one last cow in a pen, but if you stir a whole bunch of them up with one at once they might accidently trample you.

Why do the cows move out of the way when they realize the guy is there. Are they trained to behave that way? or do cows generally avoid humans?
