I'm not sure what to say. Are you still trying to be a melee necromancer? Are you using the bow you found? Are you making use of the skills available to you?

Before I say a bunch of things that I don't need to, you could use amp damage and corpse explosion to weaken groups of them, and then just spam the skill from there (Well, you'll have to kill one first). If you're being overwhelmed you could try using Terror on some of them so you're not taking on a swarm and then Decrepify on the remainder to slow down their attacks.

A summoner with corpse explosion and a point in his curses (for now, skip the left hand tree with the three skills) shouldn't have too much trouble killing cows, even if he's not wearing any gear. And that area is also optional, not to mention that if you defeat the Cow King, you won't be able to open the portal on that difficulty with that character.

I hope that I'm not confusing you.
