Facial hair whorl position is related to the  temperament of the animal. Animals who are smaller boned and tubular bodied may be more fearful.

Auditory- Cow can call to there calves and also alert the herd of danger
Tactile- Cattle could use touching as a was to get through obstacle or see an action for another cow and follow suit.
Chemical/Smell- Cow or bull can smell when a female is coming into heat.

All of these factors play into the dominance hierarchy in a herd of cattle.
