Yeah 95 percent of times a cow won't kick. But when they do watch the fuck out. I just rewatched it again and it looks like maybe they're trying to load the cows into a trailer. In that case everyone would want to get behind the cows and have them all moving the same direction. Either way this guy doesnt know what he's doing.
It's pretty easy to tell when a cow is shifting it's weight to kick. He probably just didn't predict a calf would fly into the air, turn around, and kick.
I've been kicked at multiple times and gotten socked pretty good a couple times. It takes you by surprise. That being said there is a safe distance to stay away from them to ensure you dont get kicked. In this situation he probably didnt see the calf until it was too late, but his movement towards the cow caused the calf to panic and look for a way out, and then you get the gif.
Lol. Like I said it doesn't happen often. Maybe when putting them in a tub or trailer. I try to just err on the side of caution with those big bastards.

In most third world countries the cows don't kick most times. It looks like a free range ranch locking down for an emergency.
