Curious cows

5:40pm, between Congleton and Bosley Locks. Cows came to investigate when Granny got 'stemmed up' (ran aground). 

Hover on the edge of any cow-filled field and they'll slowly walk, then trot, to see you. 

Now I know how John Wayne felt when the injuns emerged over the edge of the mountain, or what was going through the redcoats' minds when the zulus appeared.  However, unlike native warriors, cows are fearfully ill-equipped to run down the mountainside whooping and hollering.
