its wonderful u had such a loving connection with them. Actually my mum was afraid of cows which is crazy because she comes from a cow village in the mountains but actually there were few horrible farmers who would beat the cows and the cows from these farmers did not like humans approaching them. i was quite disconnected from animals growing up and in a city and because of my mum fears, it wasn't just cows, but dogs and anything she thought was threatening. But becoming more spiritually aware and going vegan helped me reconnected with the animal kingdom. That is the advantage of being human is to learn from, respect and appreciate all life, i hope everyone one day can wake up and see this!
