This study cannot be proposed by anyone with experience with cows or cattle.
I have never known a cow to bite a person. In fact they do not have front
teeth but just a gum plate. The real danger is by being kicked; hind legs
being the most dangerous. No cow/steer is going to let you walk up behind
them in a field. If you sneak up on them you are very likely to get both rear
hooves to your noggin. And you better hope there is not a bull among the herd
or it may likely be the last thing you will ever do. How much does this study
pay?
No cents… but unlimited male organic fertilizer.

Unique field study program
Exact today in 2 weeks, there will be a
worldwide study organized upon the behavior
of cattle exposed to low frequency magnetic
field from power overhead lines.
The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Czech Republic
http://web.mvcr.cz/archiv2008/english/index.html
<http://web.mvcr.cz/archiv2008/english/index.html> and the university
of Duisburg–Essen (http://www.uni-duisburg-essen.de/
<http://www.uni-duisburg-essen.de/> ) have invited
specialists in EM worldwide to participate in
an cattle observation program.
They have asked the EM-community to use their networks
to address suitable specialists having access to
vector field strength measurement equipment.
Due to variations in the earth magnetic field versus time,
these observations need to take place at exactly 12:00 GMT.
(sorry you guys in the US, you will be late for dinner or
worse, but you are better off than the Chinese having to
stay up all night).
The observation program consist of observing any power overhead
exposed cattle field and recording the actual nose-tail orientation
in grads towards magnetic north of the
cattle at that time. Best mean to do that is
using a photo camera at considerable height.
At the time of observation an indication of
the local field strength should be recorded also for
each animal recorded individually.
For this value to actually represent the field situation
a vector measurement need to be made exactly at the position of
each specimen. The organizing committee has decided to
standardize the exact location to be at the tail of the animal,
to prevent the risks of the cow biting the observer.

Some Australians proved that pigeons home using magnetite particles.
They exposed the pigeons in a ceramic enclosure with a special cover of
organic material to a temperature above the Curie temperature and showed
that they lost all sense of direction.
However, they tasted delicious.
