We're still a long ways from the Jurassic Park version of this process, but a more practical method involves essentially reverse-engineering domestication: instead of pairing wild animals with traits that would make them more amenable to living with humans, breeders would look at what we know about the original aurochs' genetic makeup, find cattle with similar traits, and intensify them over several generations.
