One man finally learned how to play the saxophone after wanting to for a long time. Then his wife suggested taking his talents to the local cow field. After he began to play, the cows flocked to him and his music. The video has garnered thousands of views since the original posting.

They are probably trying to get over the fence to make him stop!
And, dang it, I'll never be able to watch Deadpool again without thinking of that cow video.
Paging Ryan Reynolds...
This might work well if we can get him on the
“view”
the cows are used to being fed pellets when a human calls, that’s why they came, they were thinking.. food?
Since there’s a school of thought that music increases milk yield, the cows may associate music with the farmer/food/good things.
Lots of animals appreciate music. There’s a whole series of very heart-touching videos of a pianist named Paul Barton who moved to Thailand and plays music for rescued elephants, some of whom are very old and/or injured. Some aren’t old, and there’s one very funny video of a younger bull who plays along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjsu3SGAdLs
When I start to play the piano, two of our cats — a brother and sister — jump in the book shelves next to the piano, lie down, and listen until I’m finished. Weird.
Back when I was in horticulture/agriculture, several milk farmers om Lancaster Cty (PA) used to play classical music before and during milking time, and had increased yields, compared to neighboring farms with similar herds. A strict control experiment is tough to do, on dairy farm herds.
I had a Siamese cat that would climb on the piano whenever I played. Often she would go to sleep. It didn’t matter where she was when I started, she always came to listen.
It’s a bit spooky, isn’t it? Like yours, mine come when I start, from no matter where they are.
And then we had Duchess, who would run to the TV and stare at it whenever she heard GWB start talking on TV. When he was done, she left.
Anybody you know?
I think I met that one cow in the middle one time. Yeah, that one.
I loved that! Thank you!
Who needs cowherders?
My cat lays down in front of the stereo speakers. Seems to prefer Vivaldi.
My ex-husband’s African grey parrot “sang” opera, and he was pretty good. My FIL played opera all the time and, of course, Pedro picked it up. We’d get hysterical laughing at him.
