If donkeys protect horses and goats protect sheep what protects cattle?

In: Cows and Cattle, Goats and Sheep, Care of Horses, Donkeys and Mules [Edit categories]

Answer:

Cattle are not frequently attacked by wild animals and they do a decent job of protecting themselves when attacked. Cattle and hogs do well together, though. They don't compete for the same food and the hogs enjoy eating cow pies. Hogs are also light sleepers so they can roust the cattle if wild predators are about.
