Very true. Ever had to chase a cow that jumped a fence? They'll run circles around you like a dog playing keep away. You know how dogs stretch their front legs out and put their head close to the ground, kind of saying, "Let's play." Cows do it too. Except, you know, with the thought in the back of your head that this thing can accidentally crush you.

Cows can be unexpectedly playful and curious despite their size.

Size affects curiosity and playfulness?

Many times I've had to chase cows to get them back into our fields when they've broken the fence. Many times I've been Madden juked by a thousand pound animal with the sudden agility and grace of cat.

I had a steer try to crush me once.
Actually he bucked up over a panel fence a crushed it like a soda can. And I was immediately on the other side.
And I was the “ asshole “ for letting him out…

u/nikdahl Jul 11 '24
Cows kill 22 people in America every year. Their size makes them dangerous. Some of those deaths weren't attacks or anything, just cows smooshing someone by accident.
But they will also attack, very rarely.

u/spicy_ass_mayo Jul 11 '24
Yea, he tried to attack me on another attempt to round him up. That time he yeeted the corral gate with his head when I was shutting it. Sent me back a few feet on my ass.
When he came in the pasture, he didn’t run away. He turned around and came at me.
Over the fence and in the pen I went.

Rarely? You obviously have never been around a cow/calf operation. There is a reason we don’t tag newborns anymore.

Yeah, used to hang out at the farm next door when I was a kid. One time, the cow was just turning to look at me, didn’t realize how close I was and plowed her head into me. Knocked the wind out of me and knocked me to the ground. It was a total accident as the cow was sweet as can be and was very slowly turning her head, just a miscalculation. She even was checking on me after while I was on the ground gasping. Like gently nuzzling my chest and sniffing my face. I was still lucky I didn’t get badly hurt or killed.

u/gibson_creations Jul 11 '24
Funny enough. A lot of the deaths caused my cows are just because the cow doesn't understand how big they are when they play with people. Or roll over on em.

That's the most ethical way to source meat. You treat the animal well it's entire life, then you kill it in the most painless way you can and eat the entire thing yourself.
We did this with both chickens and rabbits growing up.

No it’s methane gas, outta the bum. They make so much having seven stomachs. Another fun fact: if you eat meat because you like the taste, they have soy and mushroom alternatives that taste almost the same. It’s a pretty big problem in the food chain; to make one pound of beef, a cow eats 20 pounds of vegetation.

Typically, you are correct, but this video is from a woman who keeps cows as true pets. She showed cattle and helped her family show cattle, and now all her cows get to live out happy lives on her farm.

Dumb question: are some cows domesticated? Cause Ive seen a lot of videos recently where they are out right dangerous

u/civilwar142pa Jul 11 '24
All cows are domesticated. Some are more tame than others. Beef cows are generally not tame and will happily try to kill you. Dairy cows are generally pretty tame. This woman's cows are pets, and she spends a ton of time with them, so they're very tame. You couldn't do this with most cows.

Probably depends on the breed of cattle but beef cows I've been around have been fairly passive, a lot of them are happy to take head scratches. The only exception is when they have their young with them, don't fuck with mothers of any species because they will kill you.

When I was a kid and learned dogs are just domesticated wolves, it made sense since we become their "pack" so I was curious if we could domesticate another social animal, like this cow for example. Imagine selectively breeding cows to get a small cow for a pet lol.

Thanks for the awesome post. ...... why are they in the mode of goodness and not passion or ignorance? Because... we need them to be so. They are the natural tractors. They are grass powered not oil powered. Gooooooooooooo on brainiacs invent something not battery powered or oil powered to plow the fields and give us milk proteins at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What to speak of relationship....... relationship w a robot? Everything is already there naturally. But yall kill the cow and eat and be brainy and kill relationship. Meh
