Not really, no. The coordination of their front and back leg joints make it hard for them to walk down stairs like cats or dogs can. They can walk down from a step but it's much harder for them to walk down several steps at a time.

I believe there is a saying that cows can climb upstairs but they cant climb down this is due to the cows knees cant bend properly to go downstairs but they allow them to go upstairs weird question though

Serious answer- they can see steps leading up in front of them, but can't see steps leading down- their eyes are in the wrong place.

Cows can walk down stairs as long as the steps are shallow enough. Some dairy sheds have stairs for the cows to walk down if the shed is on slanted ground.

Many (most?) dogs do walk up and down stairs. Some dogs avoid stairs because of a bad incident associated with stairs -- being punished or yelled at for getting on then stairs, falling on the steps when a puppy, etc. But, it is not a natural fear and with patient training a dog that has developed a fear of stairs can overcome it.

Cattle have very poor and limited three-dimensional sight due to where their eyes are positioned in their skulls. Because of this, cattle cannot accurately judge where they are placing their feet when walking down stairs and therefore often balk and walking down stairs.

Its because their legs cannot bend the way needed for walking downstairs. same way with cows.
