I've not seen a detailed explanation but I would suspect the majority of
injuries/deaths is due to falling over while running away from a herd.
Cattle at the front can see and would normally swerve away. Cattle at
the back keep going and trample unintentionally.
Animals protecting calves is rather different.

Broken down by various factors, dogs and calves are significant, but the
biggest risk is being over 50
