You don't need but one bull for about every 30 head of cows; so if you had 100 head of cows, you would only need 3 bulls.  You would only keep the best of your bull calves as a bull, the rest get castrated (and are then called steers)and eventually make it to the grocery store.  Steers are slightly better to feed out for slaughter as they gain weight better than a heifer (a young cow).

Cows give bacteria an appropriate microenvironment to develop and grow, well protected from the harsh conditions of the outside environment. The bacteria also get enough food to live. \nIn return, bacteria process the cellulose present in plants (which mammals can´t digest) into simpler sugars that can be absorbed and utilized by the cow as an energetic source.

Cows have a short course hair covering their bodies. They are not furry or fluffy. (well some oddball breads have long hair but I am talking about the average cow)

Sonority is the quality of being resonant.  A metal tuning fork can produce a steady tone because when energy is added by striking it, it vibrates with little loss of energy.  If you strike a lump of wet clay the energy is quickly lost with no sustained vibration.  A metal rod or bell can produce tones because the metal vibrates in lengths corresponding to the fundamental and higher overtones of sound waves that also travel as lengths of air disturbance (rarefactions and condensations).  Actually ordinary bells do not produce the fundamental tone which is why they sound "bell-like."

I like Happy Cow. That is a brand of cheese. Cows make me happy because they are cute and they have a nice disposition. Have you ever heard of a mean cow? I haven't.

Cows are descended from a European species called the Aurock.  The last Aurocks were killed by board German soldiers during WWI.  They just felt like shooting something.

Yes it has supposedly been proved that cows do. I saw it on the news.\n\n'Cows have regional accents like humans, language specialists have suggested. \nThey decided to examine the issue after dairy farmers noticed their cows had slightly different moos, depending on which herd they came from. \n\nJohn Wells, Professor of Phonetics at the University of London, said regional twangs had been seen before in birds'\n\n\nCheck this BBC article.\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/5277090.stm

1. Peddlers had bells to announce their arrival\nhttp://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/meanings.htm\n\n2. I heard this one somewhere, may not be true as I can't find a source\nBells on a the wagons were a kind of decoration and a luxury. If there was trouble on the road, they would sell the bells to raise needed money. To be ther with your bells on means you expect to have a fast and easy trip.\n\n3. No real history, bells are just festive\nhttp://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20000519\n\n4. You're so happy to come, the horses will be wearing their most festive harness, with bells on\nhttp://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/6/messages/348.html\n\n5. Bells on the wagon indicate a friendly visit\nhttp://www.writersblock.ca/fall2000/origins.htm

Tails are for balance. \nCats can't stand on fences without a tail, monkeys can't swing from tree to tree....and cows can't leap from field to field... without tails.

G'day Alli Oop94,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nCows can see in things in front of them depending on where they are.\n\nCows are fisheyed with very different eyesight to humans.  There eyesight is poor and they need to lower their heads to see things on the ground. They will baulk at a shadow then lower their head to look at it further. Designers of cattle handling facilities are taking cows poor eyesight into consideration in design.\n\nThey are also colourblind so the legend that bulls get enraged by the colour red is a myth.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

No they can't, even though one of their nicknames are "whistle-pigs".  Maybe people think that their high pitch squeal they make is whistling?  Their salad isn't up to scratch, because they make the noise when they are scared.  Perfect, eh?  The high pitch sound leads the predator right to them.
