Default Cows have knackered my Davis VP - advice please

Don't laugh, but the cows in the paddock have chewed through the data cable from
my anemometer.
I had curled up the excess into a ball and rigged up a cover to keep it
protected. A cow apparently managed to dislodge it, revealing the ball of cable
and promptly started to chew through it. the farmer said that that particular
cow was very keen on string and probably thought it was string. So I now have
the problem on how to join the two loose ends, fortunately there is still enough
cable to do that. I have done a lot of household electrics in the past having
re-wired my own house a few years back but have never worked with such fine
cable. There are 4 wires in the cable all very thin, what is the best way to
join them ?
Any advice gratefully received !

Spent yesterday evening putting wire over the fence to keep the cows out ! But
I'll have the last laugh as they will be slaughtered for meat later this year,
yum, yum.

Will.
