"Muuu" Alternatively, the second acceptable form is "Muuuuuuuuu!" ;)
Seriously, I'm not an expert on cows, but I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats, so it's possible that this translates to other animals as well.
Animals generally communicate with body language. Eg cats meow, ONLY to communicate with humans! In the natural state, the cat practically does not meow, except in very extreme situations (e.g. a kitten calling its mother).
The same is true for dogs - they bark to attract attention or to scare the competition. But all communication is already non-verbal. That is why, for example, dogs with cropped ears (a barbaric practice that is fortunately fading away) have problems and are often attacked by other poochs. Without ears, they cannot make signals of friendliness readable to others.
The punch line - the cows probably have the same. They probably greet each other with a specific nod of the head :)

Cows greet and communicate with sounds. Humans only hear something like "moo", but keep in mind that the original behavior of cows has changed due to domestication. Cows understand cause and effect relationships, they display parental instincts to defend their offspring. However, his behavior is also shaped by the environment. These are conditioned reflexes acquired through experience, training or learning. However, acquired characteristics are not passed down from generation to generation.

Cows greet each other through a so-called "big greeting", which involves shaking their heads or moving their ears. They can also collide head-on, which is a sign of dominance within the herd.
