You can have a cuddly dairy cow, but that’s not universal.

Far from universal. About 20 people die per year in the USA from attacks by cows. They are huge powerful animals that don't generally don't give a shit about people (they're used to them, for the most part) but if they decide you are a threat to them or their calf, you're fucked.

There's also a huge difference between beef cows and dairy cows.

My understanding: dairy cows interact with humans on a regular basis, for dairy stuff. Beef animals don't interact with humans nearly as much.
