Dave:

You have to find out what is the terminal velocity of a cow. How good
are they at sky surfing. For instance a cat is most likely to survive
any free-fall. I remember my little sister doing the experiment when she
was 4 years old throwing my cat from different height and 20 feet or 50
feet did not make a difference.

I'm sure a cat fly better than cow so I would assume that whether the
cow fall from 300 feet or 30000 feet does not make a difference. Now you
have to recalculate as explained by Jerome Villanova.

If jerome was right cows would be considered a weapon of mass
destuction.
