IME cows were big, dumb and not at all interested in people. Pigs on the other hand have very clear personalities.

Every and any animal has a personality; you just need more time to discover it on some species than others.

Cows can be very tame, if from a milk breed, and brutal pointy ended stomping and biting machines if from beef breeds.

Pigs are not tame, at all. I’ve raised potbelly pigs and they could absolute sweets or complete assholes capable of biting or headbutt you without warning. It’s the only farm animal that can revert to feral state.

And chickens know they were once dinossaurs. Get them in sufficient numbers and they become dangerous. Ever seen a fox afraid inside a chickencoop? I have; at a 100:1 ratio, the poor fox was hoping for a fine meal but was instead made a meal.

I have more experience with pigs than anything else so I’ll take your word for it.
