you have ever visited a farm or a dairy where cattle are raised, one observation is quite obvious. Cows are not bad animals, they are just incredibly stupid and dumb. They do little but stand around all day chewing their cud. Calves are even worse. They jump and scamper all over the place aimlessly, and are symbolic of immaturity and the impulsiveness of youth (similar to the younger prodigal son). Cows could hardly be classified as intellectual animals.
