Ah, I thought so!

Must have rubberised cows these days to double the limit...

the resistance in a cow with the water would be fetal

Cows are extremely sensitive to stray voltage. Had a milking parlour a few years ago where the bonding between the metal the cows stand on and the metal where they place their necks to feed had gone AWOL.
There was a fault elsewhere on the farm putting a small voltage on the earth wire, and the cows made it abundantly clear they didn't appreciate this voltage across their bodies. They refused to be milked, lashing out with their hooves, and the place looked like an explosion in a sewage works.
As for rats, they will attack any cable that gets marginally in their way. Route all cables under joists and beams where they cross them, never over the top, and run cables low down on the side when they run along joists.

And of course not forgetting that ALL switchgear, consumer units, and accessories must be at least IP44.

Lets face it, for the farm animals it is like a shower area as all naked and damp!
