Best Answer

Docile cattle give tender meat. When cattle are stressed out, levels of cortisol and adrenalin hormones surge through their bodies into their muscles making the meat dark and tough. Dark meat or animals that are "dark cutters" have tough meat, and is the kind of meat consumers won't buy.

Cows that are frightened are stressed cows. Stressed cows are not relaxed, which indicates that the hormone oxytocin is released in very little amounts, leading to very little milk being ejected from the udder. Adrenaline takes a while to go through the cow's system, which means that it will take a while before the cow is fully relaxed enough to increase her milk production.
