Cows are big animals and pretty harmless.Today's cows are descended from Aurochs a large ancient wild cow with a bad temper. With crossbreeding and selecting more docile offspring we have the cows of today. But they are big animals and if you are a little kid they can be scary.
I remember years ago I was walking down a county road late at night and I decided I needed a rest. I went over to a fence, sat down, leaned against the fence and fell asleep. I woke up and had that sense of being watched. I turned around and saw these huge faces and large eyes looking at me. I yelled and jumped. They were just cows that saw me and came over out of curiosity. I laugh now but at the time it was startling. :)
Is it normal to have a phobia of cows?

That's quite a fair point. When I think about it, I'm sure that they are probably more scared of me than I am of them!!
That would have freaked me out big time! Wow, what a great story
