Nah, Patty, your reasoning is wrong. If they were used to humans, they wouldn't be so curious…

My recollection is that these were not only beef cattle, but they were young males…hmmm. Not so different from packs in their late teens ogling what's available on a Saturday night…

I think I'll go with Satima's remark!

It just goes to show how few people live in Tassie. All the cows gather to stare at strangers!

At university, we used to have a professor who would go and lie upside down with his feet in the air in a paddock to prove his point that dairy cows are curious. Or you could park a vehicle that looks like a space ship on the other side of the fence. Pretty much the same thing, really 😉
Dairy cows are 1. used to people (they get people handling their intimate bits on a daily basis, after all), and 2. very curious

I think Tanith Lee wrote a story abort sheep with razor sharp teeth, looks like you only attracted the grass eating cows!!!
You don't look too cowed by them!!

Or they think you're a potential source of food. How creepy that is depends on what these cows eat…
