I took my stepson with us to the Houston Livestock Show and rodeo, when he was about 10 or 11...
Back in the livestock Arena we came by a former Champion Brahma Bull, also a ton, laying there as peaceful as
could be.. His name was Tecate' ... We have a picture somewhere around here of my stepson sitting on Tecate,
who was still laying down... he never did get up while we were there...
Since he was a former champion, I assume he had a pretty easy life exposed to humans...

Passing a ranch in Central Florida on the way home... (show quote)
In the 50's the most dangerous and lethal animal in the US was a bull. They usually killed by a head but. to the victim. Often it happened when a farmer unwisely trusted a bull and got into a pen with the bull without attaching a nose ring with a stock handle to the bull. I don't know if these facts are true now. I have always, when in a pasture and suddenly discovering a bull was nearby, tried to distance myself as far as possible from the bull. I certainly would not expose myself to a bison.

Ditto, growing around cattle ranches in Central Florida, we always watched for the bull when exploring pastures...Whether myth or not, wasn't going to chance it

The reason cows hurt and kill more people than do bulls is that there are a lot more cows on the typical farm. Only the top bull calves are allowed to mature intact. The rest get "modified" and become steers. Then once they are a couple of years old, they land on our plates. Cows are kept to have more calves.

I don't believe the statistic is about cows. Having friends who were dairy farmers, I did not hear about cows being a danger. not did I experience that in the few times I worked with them. I believe the statistic was about about bulls.

There are cows and there are cows. Dairy cows are used to being handled, in fact the modern dairy cow gives so much milk that it hurts unless she is milked. They quickly learn that milking time provides relief so they appreciate humans. Beef cows, on the other hand, often wander the range with their calves and have less contact with humans plus the desire to protect those calves. I can believe that they present some danger.
