Cows are really incredible animals.

Cows

All cows are female. Males are called bulls or steer. Before having a calf for the very first time, a female is called heifer. Then, once she has her first calf, she becomes a cow.Cows can see almost 360 degrees. As a result of this near-panoramic view, they can watch for predators from all angles. However, they don’t see well straight in front of them and they will typically turn their head to look at you.Cows have an acute sense of smell and can detect odors up to six miles away.Cows are very social and don’t like to be alone. For example, when a cow isolates herself it’s usually because she is sick or about to give birth.Cows have no upper front teeth. Therefore, when they’re eating food, they press their sharp bottom teeth against the top hard palate of their mouth to cut blades of grass.A cow has 32 teeth, and will chew about 40-50 times a minute. A cow will chew for up to eight hours a day, and can move their jaws about 40,000 times a day. Since grass isn’t available in the winter for cattle to eat, it’s very important that harvest grass so that cattle can eat it in the winter. That process is called “making hay”. This is a very busy and critical time of the year on any cattle. In short, the fields have to produce enough hay in order to feed the animals through the winter.Cows spend about 10 hours a day lying down.Cows will stand up and lay down about fourteen times a day.Cows can sleep while they’re standing

Like humans, cows are social beings. They like to live in groups and can develop friendships with some while will avoid others. They cannot see the color red. A bull in a bullfighting ring does not react to the colour of the red cloak but its movement. Cows can’t vomit!. You can walk a cow up the stairs but they can’t walk back down them! Their knees don’t bend the right way. What a ‘moosiance’!. It has been proven that if you get to know your cows and name them, they will produce more milk for you. Like dogs, they love a good rub down. They have almost 300 degrees vision. Their only blind spots are directly in front and behind them. Language specialists have discovered that cows from certain locations actually have regional accents! How amusing is that! Unlike popular belief, cows really do have only one stomach. That stomach, however, has four different compartments. Hmmm, I knew there was a separate one for dessert.
