Cows often separate themselves from the herd if they are feeling ill, are going to calve, or if they have had a calf. They may continue this behavior for quite a few days to protect a newborn calf, also if the calf was stillborn or sickly at birth.

Why do cattle stampede?
Yes. They can if they are in a pasture or field. This happens when they are spooked. They run when they are scared.
Why do cattle all lay down in a cow pasture all at same time?
It's a herd thing. Cattle tend to do everything in a herd. They also like having their routines, and quite often do those particular routines with all the rest of the cattle in the herd. They're simply laying down chewing their cud, taking a few naps or a sleep before they eventually get up again and go back to grazing.
What are the differences between pasture-fed and feedlot-fed cattle?
Besides how they are housed, where they live and what they are fed, there are almost no significant differences between them. The primary difference is how they are fed. Feedlot cattle are fed an 85% grain or concentrate diet (the rest is forage), and pasture-fed cattle are obviously set to graze grass on pasture.What's interesting in this respect is that feedlot cattle have been pastured before they entered the feedlot. These cattle have been on pasture pretty well since the day they were born, and remained so for a year and a half (~18 months) before being sent to the feedlot to be "finished" for beef. Even the weaned calves that enter the feedlot are put on pasture in the summer for 5 or 6 months, and in the winter or during the times when they cannot be on pasture they are fed a forage-rich diet. Pastured cattle will also be fed the same way if they do not have pasture to graze on, because not all areas can raise cattle on pasture all year round.The differences that may be seen is when cattle are mere days away from being sent to slaughter. Feedlot cattle are younger and somewhat fatter than pasture-finished cattle, being finished at around 20 to 24 months of age. Pasture-finished cattle are not as fat, but still well conditioned, but older. By the time they are ready for slaughter, they are around 28 to 30 months of age. Breeds and breeding matters little between feedlot and pastured cattle, feed efficiency is not breed specific, but individual-specific within and between breeds.
Do cows lie down to sleep?
They don't. This is a myth. Cattle will just keep on grazing or head for shelter when it rains. Most cattle don't give a hoot whether they get wet or not. If it's a light rain, they'll just keep grazing. If it's a heavy downpour or a cold rain that chills you right to the bone, then they will head for shelter (a grove of trees, a barn or a shed) and bunch up together to keep warm. An experienced cattle producer will tell you that it's not true that cattle will lay down when it's going to rain or even when it does rain. And even an animal scientist can tell you that cattle don't have this barometric-pressure sensing thing that makes them "have to" lay down right before it rains. The only time cattle will lay down, even when it's all together, is when they're chewing the cud or need a time to rest. Cattle are herd animals, and do anything together, from eating to sleeping to even mating.

Are cows good with other types of cows?
Usually, yes. However, due to the pecking order stance in the herd, smaller cattle tend to be dominated by larger cattle, horned cattle dominate polled cattle, and cattle of an "unusual" colour than the rest of the herd would also be subject to domination by those animals that are of the "usual" colour of the herd. These are more present in larger herds than in smaller herds of only 2 to 5 cattle.
