Dad had an Ayrshire milk cow of similar nature, she was coloured a flaming red which should have been a clue. The other cows were quiet pets, some that would walk up to a person expecting their back to be scratched
Why he kept the vile Scottish beast is beyond me except for how she filled the milking machine. Maybe because he was proud that he did manage to mostly tame her. She did learn that if she acted up that she was going to pay. She was smart and mean not stupid and mean. Didn't completely stop her from the occasional kick at the Surge milking machine or while tying her up twice a day.
Ayrshire as she was called had zero respect for my Mother and would ram the manger if Mom fed her.
One night I washed Ayrshire and about the time the 2nd inflation was attached to her udder. Ayrshire realized it wasn't Dad but myself and she went wild. While I don't believe in abusing livestock she learned to understand that it wasn't just Dad who was the 'Alpha" . Afterwards anytime she went to lift a hoof to kick the milker off, just raising the club would remind her and she would stand quietly again.
We were glad to see the psychopathic Ayshire go to market.
