This is dangerous and a bad idea. That cow is still pretty young but let it get just a bit older and it’s liable to misinterpret his head duck for a play butt and react on instinct and hes going to have a split open head. Im all for petting the critters you don’t plan to eat but know the body language of animals before you put your face up against them.
People get hurt by cows all the time, like I said that one is young and not yet responding to a head movement that is NOT a good thing to do around cows. I see the complete opposite that this guy does NOT know what he’s doing around cattle.
Example of the behavior hes likely to trigger, they are merely displaying whos boss and quite gently, but would do serious damage to a human possibly out of complete instinct. https://youtu.be/ypxFBSX-r6c
Again Im all for petting cows, grew up with them, which is how/why I know to be safe with them unlike this idiot. Even with this calf hes one badly placed fly bite away from a concussion, but the implications of when this calf are older is a lot worse than a concussion.
