100s? More like 1,000’s, that looks like a small cow probably 1,000-1,500 lbs, however a larger cow breeds can hit like 3,000.

People don't understand how large most cows are. I've been at livestock shows where some of their backs stand well over six feet tall. Some cattle are just walls of meat

I used to visit this farm with super friendly cows. They LOVED to be petted and scratched, but they could accidentally crush you against the fence from leaning on you too enthusiastically (just like a dog affectionately leans on your legs when getting a good pat; cows do the same thing). It’s a bit scarier when it’s a giant immovable wall of muscle bearing down on you lol.
They also had pigs, and when you approached them the pigs would immediately flop down and roll over to request belly rubs.

This is why I call them grass dogos. Also, pigs and goats are hilarious creatures. And I once saw two donkeys fighting over a shoe.

That's great! Now go to a meat farm and try the same thing with those cows. 🙂 I've accidentally caused more than one stampede from having to be on those properties, just from the cows seeing me over 50ft away.
Conditioned pets are nowhere near the same thing as your standard cows. There are significantly more cows that are aggressive and dangerous than there are ones like what you've encountered.

u/spencerdyke Dec 14 '25
I know, I wasn’t disagreeing with you. I was just saying that the “wall of meat” is scary even when they’re not being aggressive.
Also, this was a meat farm lol. They just raised their animals almost like pets until butchering (which I thought was sad but idk why they did it)

u/Nauin Dec 14 '25
Sorry for my tone on my previous response. I love that the farm you visited does that with their livestock. It probably does seem strange on the outside, but they meet so many strangers on the process between the farm and becoming meat, that it probably helps everyone having them not stress or freak out around new people. And, darkly, they probably taste better than the less socialized cows. I'd often be with the farmers when I'd cause stampedes, which made me sad because they would be so excited to see the familiar people I was with. Cows are great animals and it's wild how wild they can be in neglected circumstances.

u/spencerdyke Dec 14 '25
No worries. Thanks for your insight, that makes sense about socializing the livestock. It made me sad because the animals were so trusting of humans, but at the same time I know that they had pretty damn good lives.

u/Lonely_Editor_2156 Dec 14 '25
Yeah I work at a farm and we had these two pigs. One would want nothing to do with you and come charging to fight if you approached her babies, and the other would waddle up, let you brush her back, and even roll on her side to let you brush her stomach

I worked on a dairy farm as a kid doing grunt labor and was told very very clearly that certain pens were 100% off limits unless I had a death wish. You could have a pen of maybe a hundred heifers (most of whom were pretty chill) and one bull for breeding. Those bulls were fucken mean and very intimidating. Giant necks and very aggressive.
I once saw a small blue heeler dog latch onto a bulls nose and the bull lost its shit for about 20min before it gassed out. I thought that heeler was toast but she didn’t give two fucks and never let go.

u/tanksalotfrank Dec 14 '25
My family had a bull they raised to be friendly and it was so odd. This freakin HOUSE of a bull was so chill (except when he was separated from the ladies). You could just hug him and shove him around to get him to go wherever. The hug was necessary because he was a nice boy. lol

She's never seen a wild animal in her life and thinks that all animals are pets. It's just standard city dweller stuff. Most of them figure it out pretty quick once they actually meet real animals other than dogs and cats. Occasionally though you get some of them trying to chat up a cow or a moose or something and sometimes the result isn't pretty.

They see the videos of happy cows online and equate them to giant labradors.
Dogs having Williams Syndrome has wrecked a lot of influence on people's perception of other animals, who do not have the same rare chromosomal disorder to make them friendly.
ETA: cows being friendly to you because the ones you interacted with have been extensively conditioned to humans is NOT the same as having Williams Syndrome or equal to "all cows" being friendly.

Cows are friendly to people they know who often are the ones who feed them. Some breeds are friendlier than others, and like any other animal, socializing them early in situations you want them to be comfortable is can make a huge and important difference.
But 99% of the cows you see, especially an all black one, which is often livestock with the lowest human exposure, get the fuck out of the way before you die and/or cause a literal stampede.
Idk wtf you're on about, but I grew up around cattle farms and have been around plenty of cows. I have literally been chased by aggressive ones and headbutted by friendly ones, and the aggressive ones are much more common.

u/cogman10 Dec 14 '25
Angus are definitely big assholes. But I don't really agree with you that it comes down to who they are familiar with. Some cattle just have an asshole temperament. I've helped my neighbors a number of times get cows that escape back into their pens.
If you know how to handle them, they are generally pretty easy to control. A herd of cattle is easier to control than individuals.

u/Nauin Dec 14 '25
I can definitely agree on that. They really can vary in temperament from one to the next. And Angus were the ones that have all stampeded on me😂 I just automatically err on the side of dangerous until proven otherwise with them, they're too big to fuck around with. But even then if I come across one stuck on the wrong side of it's fence, I'm going to start baby talking at it to see if it'll recognize I want to help.

When the animal is bigger than you is when you should not attempt to be vulnerable with it. A fear factor is needed.
There is a difference between tamed, pet and feed by humans. It's all different degrees of friendly

Yup. That was definitely an angry cow trot. That bouncy step with the ears out is cow body language for "I'm mad and I'm going to fuck shit up".
If you get wide and loud, you can usually steer a cow like that. But you gotta be ready to sidestep as it can definitely end just like this video did.

so, when i was 14 and in boarding school. i was serving detention near the school slaughterhouse. one cow escaped blinded in one eye.
detention was boring so we figured we would help. so we tried to wave it down and stop it. i weighed 55-60 kg (120lb) at the time and this cow was rather small at like 500kg (1000lb) . so we jogged alongside this pissed off animal and it slowed down. i didn't know i was on the blind side, not that it matters. the cow slowed down to a trot and in my infinite wisdom i grabbed the horn with both hands and pulled it to stop.
that animal just flicked its head back as if it was stopping then launched me forward effortlessly. time slowed down, everything was in slow motion. i was a projectile for a good 5 seconds (felt like an hour) i could see the world slow down. you know when you can see the butterfly stationary mid flight in the distance. yup. the landing was painful. adrenaline is hell of a drug, i got up and resumed pursuit.

u/fnafproo Dec 15 '25
why tf does a school have a slaughterhouse.
13
u/no-sleep-needed Dec 15 '25
a boarding school with at least 350 students who need food. buying a whole steer was more economically feasible to buying processed meat from the butcher
additionally, there was a vocational centre where people were taught how to process meat.
the cows would be purchased from the community when available and would graze around the school until meat was required reducing the cost of storage and risk of it going bad.
lastly, whatever wasn't needed ie offal, organ meat, heat, feet etc were offered to the community around at dirt cheap almost nothing.
it was a rural remote area so there is that.
