Cows tend to be gentle critters. They have been with us for so many thousands of years that the "mean heifers" are few.
BTW, a neighbor had a little herd of Herfords when his adult daughter and 3 kids moved in with them. He just selected one of the cows and began milking her. I'm sure she wasn't the best milch cow but she provided enough for the family.
The mountain above my olde home was logged with oxen, I was told by the neighbor who owned most of it. I used to imagine having a pair to use for my farming. These days, there would probably be people who would enjoy having a team come in to do work on their small fields in the ruburbs .
