cows
Cows are large domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily Bovinae, and the most widespread species of the genus Bos. They are raised for various purposes including milk, cheese, other dairy products, meat (beef and veal) and for use as draft animals. Female cows, specifically, are often referred to as heifers before they've given birth, and are known to have one calf per year. Male cows, or bulls, are often used for breeding and meat. Cows are also known for grazing on pastures, possessing a unique digestive system that allows them to ferment plants in a specialized stomach prior to digestion.
