Advice/Accounts on how to befriend crows has been submitted here in the past, but there hasn't been anything regarding cows, unfortunately.

IMX cows (they are all domestic, locally) treat anyone with thumbs as a potential source of food.

They like licking hands and under-the-chin or cheek scritches; move slowly and talk, and if they're skeptical try crouching to make yourself smaller. (but don't make mothers suspect you're after their calves!)

Anyone know about bison?

Unless they're domestic bison, it's probably illegal to approach them. And unwise.

Oddly enough, cows seem to enjoy big band and jazz.

Cows seem to be mesmerized by almost any sort of music.
