Cows can absolutely be assholes, even when raised in a species appropriate environment. I saw a cow intentionally ambush someone once. (And no, he definitely didn’t mistreat it before)
And they are anything but docile when their calves are around - I literally treated people who nearly died (and know of various cases of people who died) because momma cows found they are a threat.
I know some large animal vets and they are having lots of “almost killed me” stories of cows - and have far more respect towards them compared to horses, bison, etc.
But don’t get me wrong: I fucking love them - they are ridiculously nice animals, can be loving and caring, are VER Y social and astonishing creatures.
But they are anything but docile.
Everything is relative 😆
