No sensible person interferes with unknown cows especially when calves are present. Even farmers are wary then. Same for all livestock. Stupid to worry them and risk reprisals.
No dog should be off lead on land where sheep, cattle, horses, pigs or any other livestock is present. They are someone's property and often their livelihood and should be treated with courtesy and respect.

The problem is that cows with calves will react to dogs whether they're on or off the lead ... they see the dog ... they don't understand the lead.
The safest course of action is, as I said, to keep dogs that are unknown to the cows well away from them and if that means not going in their field, so be it.

Yes, which is fine as long as you know they are there before you go into the field.
