For a second year old a trip the farm could be very \nrewarding and fun. They couold learn different animals ,care ,how thier fed. Also it would show them \nthe different machinery used, tractors, reapers and tillers.

I would say becasuse you can use cows as a general term. You can point to a herd and say "look at all the cows." You can't say "Look at all the bulls" unless they actually are a herd of uncasterated bovines :)

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)

Let H be the nunber of hens. Assume rate of food consumption per hen is equal for all hens. Then, if X days feed left at decision point and r is feed consumption per hen per day:\n\nSell: (H-75)*r*(X+20) is feed left\n\nBuy:  (H+100)*r*(X-15) is feed left\n\nSo (H-75)(X+20)= (H+100)(X-15)\n\nHe has to know how much feed he has to say what he says. So if we know X we can find H

I think techically it's ranch, much like a cattle ranch.  It's easier to feed/round-up/medicate if they are in one place.  Pig farm just sounds cooler than pig ranch.

Yes, they are. At least as intelligent as dogs. I had a pet pig when I was a child and she was very smart. I have seen reports of pigs that have been trained to really impressive things- like play piano, but who is to say that trainability equals intelligence. As far as possessing the ability to sense when they are about to be slaughtered- I am not sure about that one. But I can't imagine that when one of them sees a big goony redneck standing over them with a shotgun that they aren't at least concerned.

Yeah there are college courses for that.  They're called Agricultural Science and I know a lot of people that have done it in college and have gone on to do farming.  Most people that are interested in it come from a farming background already, but they're all happy with their jobs and as everyone knows farmers are loaded.

These are terms that relate to the commodities market, not zoology.  These definitions are taken from the Man Global Research Report definitions page:  http://research.manfinancial.com/glossary/nf.glossary.asp\n\nLive Cattle:  \nThe commodity upon which the CME Live Cattle contract is based. These are cattle that have been fed a high energy ration to develop meat characteristics consistent with general consumer preferences in the U.S. This term is interchangeable with "fed" cattle or "fat" cattle. \n\nFeeder Cattle:\nThe commodity upon which the CME Feeder Cattle contract is based. These cattle are those ready to be placed in a feedyard and put on a high energy ration for fattening. Usually, these cattle will come from some form of grass or grazing program. While not exclusively correct, "yearlings" is a often substituted for "feeders."
