A person with an aggressive and unyielding approach to discussing issues, but with a feminine flair and lacking the pointiness of horns. Differs from bull-headed in that the person's confrontational energy, while still weighty and ominous, feels softer and warmer, like you might be given a glass of warm milk after being brow-beaten in an argument.
While her husband was bull-headed, she was heifer-headed. The couple's arguments were like two cows standing their ground, face to face, unyielding. While the husband grunted aggressively, the wife mooed annoyingly, wore down the husband, and offered him a glass a warm milk if he would give up and roll over.
