Hmmm ... I think the analogy would work better if you used sheep and goats. Although cows do tend to just follow along with the heard as do most herding prey animals, as a culture, we've given that characteristic to sheep to make the analogous point you're trying to make. And we use goats as the devious animals who go against the grain rather than just following the heard. Although I think that's only because of the Judeo-Christian influence on our culture where sheep have come to represent Christians who just believe on faith and don't rebel or question what they're told whereas goats have come to symbolize paganism and all of the "devious" behavior that goes along with it.
And really, goats have the same instinctual herding behavior as both cows and sheep. If you really wanted to make a good analogy based on real animal behavior you should use sheep (or cows or goats) and foxes or coyotes or some other clever hunting animal.
Besides, it would sound way cooler to say I'm a fox climber than a goat climber!!
