Lions and tigers...

[bentforlife]

monique,

Having worked around a lot of cows and horses in my youth, I think you can be assured that they are more afraid of you than you are of them. Especially cows, pretty dumb creatures. You would not want to cross a bull, however. They can be pretty mean and protective. I would definitely give any bull a wide berth.

Horses are a little more unpredictable. I would just let them take their time. Most horses will just stare at you and try to get out of the way, but some can have a "wild hair" and actually charge you. Most will stop short of actually hitting you, but again they are unpredictable. Usually if you wave your arms and yell "Stop" they will stop.

Most "domesticated" large animals are just going to ignore you but like people they can be unpredictable.

Hope this helps.

--jobob, got to love those geese. My oldest daughter hates them too. They've chased her down at the lake and while on vacation before. Love the hissssss! That can be scary if you've never heard it before. Usually that's as far as it gets but I imagine a peck by a big, mad mama goose could leave a nice bruise.
