RE: cows and deer
In my neck of the woods deer are not bothered by cows . I hunt a farm that has a beef herd on it year round, deer walk right between the cows to get to the mineral blocks . Best "blind " on the farm is in the green chop wagon , stuff stinks so don't need cover scent . I have taken several deer from that blind .The only water for over a mile is there so the deer and cows ignore each other.

RE: cows and deer
If they are used to each other being around, no problems. They've learned to live together. If the cattle were not there for a couple years and now the farmer has moved them in to graze - you've got problems.
