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
In: Biology
There are specific breeds of cattle that are semi-wild today. If you go out west in the US, there are herds being raised for beef that essentially free roam public land and are periodically checked on. Ranchers might lose 1-3:100 to predators, injuries or just plain getting lost but overall they go all summer living this way. Of course they are susceptible to weather and increasingly wildlife fires.
