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

This isn’t really about wild cattle but where I grew up, ranchers would let cattle wander up into high elevations of government owned land to graze on their own and then find them and round them up to bring them back to the home ranch in fall. They usually fared really well on their own, with some predation but the cattle are pretty protective of the herd so they were usually mostly all accounted for in the fall
