Cows more or less "make friends" by establishing who goes where on the pecking order scale. Often when a new animal is introduced to the herd, head butting will ensue between the new cow and the original cows until someone submits to whoever. Often the dominant cow will challenge the newcomer first before the others that are "second in command" and so forth also determine where she goes in the herd's pecking order. Friends are sorted out later, where they send body language and subtle signals to each other of whether they like to hang around each other, or want her to get out of their way. Eye contact, nose-to-nose sniffing each other, that sort of thing, is perhaps the main way that cows find their friends in a herd. In a much larger herd, they have a lot of other cows to choose from. In herds that comprise of only 2 or 4 cattle, there isn't a lot to choose from, and the newcomer ends up being pals with all the animals in the first place.

Another answer:Always be gentle and calm around them. It helps to talk or hum continually around them so you never surprise them. Stay in their field of vision as much as possible. Let the cows do things at "cow speed" and don't try to rush or harry them.
Some breeds and individual cows have calmer dispositions as an inherited trait, so you may be able to choose a cow that is more likely to trust you.
