Can you avoid their kick such as below?
Note:These kicks appear when stand back of them.

Commonly, Horse is very famous as kicker due to dengarous for fatel. Even cow sometimes kick when you come from their back without warning, or you touch their hip without etiquette (?).
1. Standard 2. Balanced unkick-leg. 3. Last chance avoidance!! 4. The end.
Note: By the time of No.2, They make a kick-point. Some cow prepare their position for kicking. Oh!! terrible!
Generally, Holstein kick deffer from Native's & Brahman's. Can you make a distinguish from difference on the GIF animation?
It is not only difference of speed but also kick pattern. Holstein's is revolving kick, otherwise, Native & Brahman's is straight.
So it is easier avoiding Holstein's kick with look at their position due to long orbit. However, Native & Brahman's may bring about big damage such as internal hemorrhage. To make matters worse, their reach is longer than Holstein's.
This is just my opinion, so it possiblity others situation. You had better not expect so much only this page.
In ideal advice, avoiding their kick is keeping away them.
