I think it would depend what happened
Cow in road and van hit it = van fault for not stopping in time
Cow ran out in front of van = cow/farmer fault

The Animals Act 1971 does not apply here. The ordinary principles of negligence do apply. If the farmer left the gate open, he might be liable. If a passing walker left the gate open, the farmer would not be liable. Fault on the part of the driver would depend on the circumstances.

Where was it T-boned.. . was it Jersy? My stomach is churning at the thought of getting creamed that way. What a burger that would be... Butter post to PH to cheese conchurns would sort out if the stupid cow is responsible and you can suet.

If we stop mincing about and shin over to the other side of the pond for a minute, hit a steer in Nevada and the driver pays the farmer.

My driver in Delhi refused to accept any possibility that he could kill a cow with the car.

Was it a cowboy builders van? If its written off, is it worth a tanner or is he on a hiding to nothing?n If it was the drivers fault, he should have hoofed it. Did he know the cow, pat? That all. Sorry.

You wouldn't think it quite so funny if you've faced the situation though, I had a near miss in the dark with a bull, on the Malvern to Ledbury road, wife and kids in the car, a few years back now. I also had to deal with some escaped gee gee's, as a special constable, on the Worcester to Bromyard road, again in the dark. It is horrific when animals escape and collide with motorvehicles, something the size of a cow, and the chap was lucky to survive.
