Okay, so here's the deal. A Pachycephalosaurus is a dinosaur famously claimed to be built for ramming, and there are arguments for and against that claim, not to mention fossils with cranial lesions exist. A cattle, on the other hand, will attack by ramming, although two bulls killed each other by doing that, so uhh...
Looking at their KE values, a 450-kg Pachycephalosaurus running at a top speed of 15 miles per hour (6.7056 m/s) can hit 10117.14106 joules.
A lighter breed of cow, at 360 kg, would hit 10395.9245 joules at its normal running speed of 17 miles per hour (7.59968 m/s) and 22482.53568 joules at its top running speed of 25 miles per hour (11.176 m/s). Larger cattle breeds can hit up to 68696.6368 joules (1100 kg at 11.176 m/s). However, lighter creatures designed for ramming, namely goats, have knocked cattle out irrespective to their size:
I picked cows for this because a bull would pack a pachy rather easily even if its weight were to be the same as a pachycephalosaurus.
Basically, the matchup is a pachycephalosaurus vs a cow, and both animals are given adequate ramming distance. Here are their profiles.:
