I recently mentioned milkingHere's an excerpt from a first responder manual:
Tips & Hints: About Specific Types of Animals:
Cattle: (beef, dairy, veal, bulls, cows, calves)
o Cattle are very difficult to remove from a burning barn. They will run back in if not
confined away from the fire.
o It is best to try to move the animals in a group versus one at a time. Isolation
greatly stresses the animals, and they will not cooperate if you attempt to move
one at a time.
There's an analogy there somewhere.
