Farm animals are just as bad or worse.

Even the female dairy cows will try to hump a woman having her period.

Imagine a 1500+ lb cow or several of them trying to hump you....

Very dangerous.

You are correct.

I am well aware of that as I have owned farm animals which required very careful attention.

When out hunting or otherwise traveling on foot I never ever cross a fence line unless armed.

That is not really a problem.

A few years back, my wife and I stayed at a working dairy farm up in Vermont that had a couple of hundred cows and was open as a bed and breakfast.

It poured rain for a couple of days, and there was nothing to do, nothing nearby, no television, nothing.

I asked if I could explore the property, and the farmer said sure, go anywhere you want...he suggested if I was interested, to take a look at their prize bull.

It was pouring rain and all mud, so I put on rain gear and boots and walked down to where there was a structure with hundreds of cows milling about. They stopped and regarded me, gazing with their uninterested look as they chewed, but sure enough, there was the bull, his head sticking FAR up above the backs of the cows.

And he had is eyes on me.

It wasn’t the dull, bored, disinterested look of the cows, it was a laser-focus, hostile look that made me feel distinctly uncomfortable.

And it’s hostile gaze didn’t waver during the fifteen minutes I was poking around. I haven’t spent much time around livestock, but I would wager that bull was somewhere between 1000-1500 lbs. And it was all muscle.

As I walked around, I could FEEL the thing looking at me, and when I turned around...it sure was. At one point, it put its front legs on top of some structure in the pen, and with an immediate feeling of danger, I thought “Jesus Christ. That thing can get out of there!” Then it went over to the gate and began pounding its head against the gate, and I thought “If that thing were to get out, I would be a grease spot.”

I decided I had enough sightseeing and left.

That was extremely intimidating.
