Well all the locomotives I see daily, that are not steam locomotives from 50 years ago, don't have cowcatchers. Instead they are designed that, in case of a frontal collision with another train, they push each other to the side, so that there will be less deaths.
What I remember is a collision of a high speed train with sheep in a tunnel. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenbahnunfall_im_Landr%C3%BCckentunnel https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenbahnunfall_im_Landr%C3%BC...) The collision itself only was with a single sheep.
