Would say there was something badly wrong with that fox before it got a doing, unless the cows had already had a go before they started filming.
See below...

That was my first thought; a fox with nothing to protect will normally run away from anything large and dangerous. I've seen rabid animals in Africa and, presumably as a means for the virus to spread, they lose all fear, that fox was behaving in a very similar way to them. There's not too good a prognosis for anything bitten by a rabid animal. :(

I had a seabird land in amongst the spring calvers a few weeks ago, obviously blown off course as we are 50 miles from the sea as the (cormorant) flies.
The cows acted exactly like the op. All that was left was feathers, bones and innards

It's the herd mentality when something out the norm happens, or an imposter turns up in field, seen our cows and calves acting strange not long back on camera , guessed what it was before seen it , then fox bolted across field thru them , they were onto it pronto , just like elephants do !

I vividly remember a group of dairy hiefers summer grazing here a few years back chasing a fox the full length of a field. Amusing!
