Cattle not only can figure out problems but also enjoy the intellectual challenge and get excited when they find a solution, just as humans do.

Cows and bulls have long-term memory. They recognize the people who are kind or mean to them.
Cattle feel many emotions and mourn the loss of a loved one. They love to be near their calf. If a cow is sad, other cows like to go near them to console them.
Each cow has a personality, for ex. some are shy, bold, gregarious, temperamental.
They consistently choose a cow to lead the herd who has good social skills and is intelligent, inquisitive, self-confident, and experienced—while pushiness, selfishness, a large size, and brawniness are not recognized as suitable leadership qualities. [Psychology Today]
