I don't see why the bounding box would be centered at 0,0,0. For 
cow.osg's only Geode I get a bounding box

X (-4.4458398818969727, 5.9980897903442383)
Y (-2.1400699615478516, 1.2627500295639038)
Z (-3.1983799934387207, 3.1983799934387207)

Definitely not centered in the origin...

If you have those axes then you have transformed the cow, because that 
is not the orientation I get here. Try "osgviewer cow.osg axes.osg" and 
switch to wireframe ("w") to be able to see the axes within the cow.
