someone that has never worked livestock would be a problem for everyone involved. I have been around and worked livestock most of my life, cattle may be gentle to the known but bring a stranger in and it's just the opposite.

I raise goats, pig, horses, turkeys, geese, guinea fowl and ducks. Personally, I think a sow with piglets is the most unpredictable, potentially dangerous animal on any farm. [with the possible exception of the farmer's wife] Ram sheep are a close second. They aren't unpredictable, turn your back on them and they will knock you into tomorrow. Geese are the meanest animals on God's green earth, but somehow my wife can tame them. That tame extends to no one else. But all of the grandkids are expert at grabbing the geese by the neck and pinning their wings closed.
That said, my grandkids (ages12,10, 7 and 6) can safely handle any animal on my farm. (I don't let the three youngest around the sows with piglets without me or their dad in the sow pen. And they do just fine with the Hereford bulls on their mom and dad's farm.

white face are about as gentle as they come, we had angus and you better be carefull when they had a new baby. As for the rest, we had pigs and know full well to be careful with them. as for sheep goats and birds, my mother hated all of them, so none on are farm
