Females can be quite mean. I guess it's rare. Our cow tried to run me down in a recently harvested rye field. I was close to a wagon, so I jumped on. She was always trying to escape, and there were times when my dad had to go out and find her and bring her back. We bought some small ducklings once and let them out. Our cow ran over them. Quite the bloody mess. I'm not sure of the exact breed, but she was a reddish brown.
