They can be, especially towards a predator like a bear, cougar or wolf they perceive as a threat towards their calves. Cows can also be dangerous and aggressive according to genetics: depending on that cow's traits from her dam and sire, she has the potential to be as nervous and flighty (which initiates her to be aggressive when cornered) from either her sire's side or her dam's side. The same thing for the potential for a cow to be a calm, docile animal.
Breed also has a resounding impact on how dangerous and/or aggressive a cow (or even a bull!) can be. Breeds such as Charolais, Limousin, Salers and Maine Anjou are such breeds that are more prone to have nervous, flighty and aggressive animals than others like South Devons, Red Polls, Herefords, Shorthorns, British White or even Black and Red Angus. Some Charolais, Limousin, Salers and Maine Anjou breeders may disagree with this statement, but they will agree on one thing: Their cows are calm and docile because of selection. They are (or have been) very strict on culling any cows and bulls that have the potential to have bad temperament. Those that have good temperament get to stay. With other breeders that raise the same breeds that are not as stringent on culling using temperament as a main driving force, there's more likelihood of seeing cows of these same breeds that are more dangerous than those cows of other breeds (i.e., Hereford, Angus, Shorthorn).
