AJ, What you describe, sounds like the old times beef cattle of the prairie. They know how to survive on what they can get out of nature. The action of the lead cow, is like what a bull would do in the past, but since they are cross breeding, there probably is not a bull always in the herd, and a dominant cow takes over his duties for the protection of the herd.

They would be smaller because they are not getting good grazing, or any grain. That is one of those "the survival of the fittest" theories.

I don't know why they would tend to go east when on the loose, but when it rains, the cattle put their butts to the rain, and a horse puts his nose to the rain, because of the direction on the body that their hair grows.
