How were/are cows be able to survive in the wild

1.84K viewsBiologyOther

Everything I hear how cow farmers need to take care of their stock baffles me more and more how these were able to survive for so long

A cow needs to be milked every certain period to avoid infections, bruising, death

A cow needs help with the birth of a calf, as its sometimes a process which cant be done by a cow itself

A cow builds up gasses in their stomachs, requiring punctures to avoid sickness, death

And not to mention the parasites, specific diets, and maybe some other things I wouldn’t know about

Most animals we know today are nothing like they used to be.

Cats, dogs, horses, cows, chickens, etc are all domesticated and bred for traits we find positive, such as size for meat production, quantity of eggs, or how docile they are.

A good example of this is with swine. If you look at Texas they have a feral hog problem, but that is a result of domesticated pigs escaping and start reverting to their natural state. They grow tusks, hair, and get aggressive in about a month.
