Why do cattle lick each other? This is Short Stuff (he used to be short!) licking The Bull, Duncan. So I get the heirarchy thing - the herd paying homage to their king. Or rather sucking up to the Big Boy. I never think of cattle as grooming animals like cats, but I see them licking each other often. I asked my 87 year old aunt, who has been around cattle her whole life, but she didn't know why, just that they always do it.
