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
Let’s be clear, free range beef cattle spend most of the year on pasture, not being babied. They get on fine. Cows don’t need to be milked unless you want dairy products. Most give birth without assistance, dairy cattle often need more help than other types of cattle and it can vary by breed as well. I’m not sure you have an entirely realistic idea. But yes, as others point out they’ve been domesticated a long time. Wild cattle are smarter, meaner and hardier. Dairy cattle are more labor intensive and need more care.
