Animal Facts & Trivia - COWS!
Rikki's Refuge, Rapidan, VA.
www.rikkisrefuge.org
Cows are also known as cattle. Cows are herbivores meaning they eat grasses, plants, corn. They do not eat meat. There are many types of cows. Cows are smart and intelligent animals. They are also social animals and interact with other cows. A male is called a bull. A female who has given birth is called a cow. A female who has not given birth is called a heifer. A baby cow is called a calf. There are over 1 billion cows that live in the world! Cows live on every continent except Antarctica. In India where they practice the Hindu religion cows are sacred and are allowed to roam the streets free. Around 300 million cows live in India! Cows weigh between 400-1,600 pounds! Cows have 32 teeth. Cows drink 35 gallons a water a day. They eat 50 pounds of food a day. Cows live up to 25 years. They can run 35 miles per hour. In deep mud cows can run faster than horses! A cow has one stomach with four compartments. The rumen, reticulum, omasum and the abomasum. Cow are ruminates meaning they can digest food that can normally not be digested. Like a human’s fingerprints no two cow’s spots are exactly the same. Cows first came to America with pilgrims. They arrived in the colony of Jamestown in 1611. Until the 1850′s most American families owned their own cows.

"If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile... But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me."
