My father always explained that interest for rusty metall with the cows attempt to balance out a iron-deficiency. Could be wrong though.

Found there behaviour always fascinating. They internal groom-group friendships and the one or two weakest cows they would trash up to feed them too any predator(yes, they have a social life in that way).

Not happy how dairy farming selective breeding has crippled them. If you have to inject a hormon into a creature for milking, else it gets sick, you have overstreched it to the point of crippeling.

still like farmers though and without them cows would go the way of everything wild in that juicebox that is earth.
