Had a whole of herd went up steps to get in the barn and down them to go to pasteure twice a day, every day. But it IS correct cow have poor dept perception and if they are not used to it, a cow will see even a 1 inch ledge as a HUGE hole & refuse to step over it. New cow in our herd would stop & stare at the steps, Afraid of them till about 6 cows pushed past them or a boss cow gave them a shove to get them out of the way.

they can go up or down hill/stairs - so can horses. They don't *like* going down stairs because it seems like a hole to fall - but they *can* do it. Put a hungry cow at the top and a trough of feed at the bottom and they *will* go down the stairs.

cows go up stairs but not down stairs because they r afraid to go back down but the only thing to get them back down is to lift them back down

I have heard that this is indeed true. But, I can't say for sure because I have never seen it or tried it or known anyone who has.

I know people who have barns with steps and they had to lead their calves outside. They will defiantly do it if they are forced to or lead out.

matters on the angle of the stairs like if its really slanted it probably could or if it went straight up it couldnt
