sister's cows have learned, that a human working on fences means they're about to get fresh grass, this backfired over the winter, when veg guy set up better fencing to keep them out of his orchard, and this meant they clustered over there mooing at him to be let in, because they expected him to let them in, and he was like you are menaces stay away, but they don't care about words, they care about grass

“[My cows] are unfortunately imbued with the idea that obstacles were made to be surmounted, and that as a hedge is an obstacle, it is, therefore, a thing to be got over by every conscientious-minded cow. Whatever the other side of a fence may be like, whether more attractive than where they are or not, seems quite immaterial to them. The mere fact of its being on the other side and not on their own is sufficient to make them eager to inspect it closely - in which characteristic they are a great deal like human beings, I think! But here they come to announce lunch – let us go in and feed!”
