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

Greg Judy farms has spent a lot of time adapting cattle to his rotational grazing system. Example video here but he has a lot more that go through how he sets up his fencing, how he selects cattle and so on. He is in a hot climate and started with short hair “South Poll” breed that he has tweaked over time, compared with more northern grazers using Angus that thrive in cold winters better.
