Indeed. It seems strange that something as robust as a cow is very
susceptible to voltage gradients, but they are.

Not strange at all, they're quite long compared with a person, along
the ground anyway.

So are other animals that are not as susceptible.

That's rather a sweeping generalisation to suggest that other animals with
a long spread between front and back legs are less susceptible.

It's predominantly cows that live in our fields and get electrocuted, and
they invariably tend to be the farmer's very best prize milker or champion
bull, worth more than any other. There's much less case history about other
animals
