I know people who have raised them, and have also read of raising them.

They are supposedly pretty darn placid.
I think the fact that dedicated owners spend time each day with the animals is a factor.
There is a woman here in Ala. who raises Texas longhorn champions, the "champion" part is for the length of their horns.
Pics in the article show her standing next to several of her cattle, petting them.
And i know cattle men around here who spend time with their animals, have no problem with bulls.
The bulls are often penned/pastured apart simply to prevent unwanted breeding.

So, again, proximity and care may be a huge factor.
