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
Cows only *need* to be milked if their calves are taken away; this is done in dairy production because otherwise very little milk can be taken from them, since the calf drinks most of it. The wild ancestors of cattle just nursed their calves, and it was fine.
