People don't understand that cows are exactly like any other animal. Every one of them has a specific color, trait, and personality that sets them apart from the rest. When you are a small Texas farm owner like myself, you find that we do indeed know all of our cows on a personal level. After all they all have names! You learn which you can walk up to, who you can play with, who to leave alone when they have a calf, and etc. I can hear all the city folks comments on Facebook saying "Wow! That cow is huge! You better be careful! I heard that one time a longhorn....." My response to these stories is always "Well what did the owner do to the cow?" There is always an explanation or an underlying story. All in all, you do have to be cautious. Always know your surroundings and who is in front, behind, or beside you. Because even the tamest of animals, can turn on an instant if provoked. Even if the provocation was unintentional.
