They have what's called a fight or flight response. They run when they can, and fight when they have to. Before cattle were bred to be polled, horned cattle were able to have an additional weapon to protect themselves: their horns. Polled cattle still can use their heads in the manner of horned cattle can, but they also make use of their hooves as well.

Fight or flight response. They can kick, head-butt or trample if they have the mind to.
