From a psychological standpoint, is it normal for, lets say cows, to be frightened when humans approach them?
Im talking about the farm animals that are in fields. The whole herd runs away the minute a human approaches.
Could it be due to any trauma or abuse that farmers impose on them?

Cows only think 2 things. “Oooh, what is that, can we eat it?” or “Aaaaaaaa! What is that? Run away!”
If cows are used to being fed by people, they will see people and approach them and demand food. If not, they will avoid the scary things.
Beef animals on pasture are often unused to humans on foot. They are also wary of change – if you usually arrive in a truck, they will be wary of someone in a car. Prey animals have to be on guard.
