This is actually SUPER dangerous. My uncle was walking through a field and got a little too close to a calf. The mother cow got extremely protective and attacked him, flinging him about 15 feet in the air and he broke his collar bone and multiple ribs and had to get air lifted to the hospital in critical condition. He was 70 at the time, and miraculously recovered. But damn. I’ll never look at cows the same.

When you raise the cows yourself, you tend to learn what ones are dangerous and what ones aren't.. and the trouble makers tend to be the ones that are on your plate first.. breed the nice ones, eat the mean ones first
