Deer strike?

Before my time at Houston Gulf airport (before my time altogether
really, but not before my ancient CFI's time) a Cessna 150 had a cow
strike. It apparently totaled the plane.

While browsing NTSB reports on Piper Tomahawks ( I used to own one), I came
across a report of an accident where the aircraft had a forced landing in a
pasture. The pilot reported something like "It was a nice landing, with no
obstructions until a cow DARTED out in front of me." Needless to say, the
aircraft was destroyed or severely damaged, IIRC.
