I always presumed longhorns were quite placid. My only reasoning being that there are quite a few of them near where I live being used on different sites as conservation grazers in places which the public have access to. I've usually found the "black and white ones" (friesian?) to be more likely to get rowdy.

Beef cattle are more docile than milkers generally.

Generally dairy cows are quiet, as they are handled a lot. However dairy bulls are the nastiest feckers you will meet! Not entirely sure why. But most dairy cattle are probably AId with sexed dairy semen now and then beef bulls run as sweepers.

Beef breeds, it’s all down to handling mainly. Most suckler cows are very quiet, some breeds like Lims can breed a lot more feisty but generally all ok. Obviously young males and bulls etc can be a bit different:

However any cow when fresh calved can be f*cking dangerous which was the case with this one. Someone’s cows had got out ang I was driving them back and bumped into her fresh calved in a patch of bracken. She battered the shit out of me and very nearly killed me, one of the scariest experiences I’ve ever had. 
 

The biggest issue with the long horns ...... are the horns. There is a reason why we have bred most breeds to be polled now.
