Unusual for beef cattle but common for dairy cattle. It all depends upon how much and what type of contact they have with people.

Don't expect cattle to come meandering over when there's a toreador present for example.

Thanks for that, my uncle used to call them up from his dairy farm, outside Nanango. Most of the older cattle wandered up by themselves. Creatures of habit, I guess, Bob

At the Uni farm, back home, the dairy cattle used to come every morning to the dairy and knowing their spot inside as well.
When one cow was missing we knew that most probably she met a snake that loved cow milk.
This non venous snakes are going in pairs and are well know by farmers.
The cow will come late to the shed for her food but she will be dry.
Next day, during the night the farmer have to follow the cow so he can kill the snake before it claim on the cow's back leg and start milking it.
The following night the farmer have to go again to kill the second snake before it get the same cow.
