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

Milk cows stop making milk if you leave them alone after a while after their last pregnancy.
Mother cows usually need more help with the delivery if the father was from a bigger breed like maximizer dad with a jersey mom.
Cows descended from the wild aurochs, which is a lot alike a guar or bison and those are found in the wild.
My family raises cattle, mostly beef but we’ve raised dairy. Each cow needs about 10 acres to graze healthily. We let them free range on a 250+ acre farm split up into 6 fields with corn and barley/oats. We let them out in the spring and have to go onto BLM land in the fall to round them all up. Fall coats are different from winter coats, you can just see their evolutionary traits that allow them to survive throughout the year. Especially when they have 2 calves instead of the normal 1.
