I don't like your cow example because it really isn't a cow, that's the absolute truth.

Maybe a better example would be "is the earth rotating around the moon or is the moon around the earth?" What if the moon and earth had the same mass?

Well, the correct answer in that one is "neither"; they're both orbiting their common center of gravity, which is near, but not equal to, the center of the earth.
