Out West, it's a regular occurrence...
You can drive in a number of areas that are considered free range areas and cattle can wander anywhere, including the road. I was heading out to go quail hunting one morning (still dark) and was still a bit groggy when I noticed something quickly approaching my vehicle. Slammed on the brakes just in time to avoid hitting a massive bull just hanging out in the middle of the road. Would have been a bad morning had I hit it, probably totaled the vehicle. PLUS, if you hit cattle on free range, YOU are financially responsible for the loss to the rancher.
